When I was growing up in the 70s in Michigan, I could remember jets breaking the sound barrier all the time and our house shaking from the sonic boom. I used to really think it was interesting and fun. My family did too. Weird since it made some people angry. Since then (except when I happened to be in Orlando when a shuttle was landing) I have never heard this and my parents who still live in Michigan, say they don't hear them any more. Are jets restricted from breaking the sound barrier now or is a fuel cost thing or what? Thanks.
