Re: Oh, that is funny . . . !!
I was raised on a farm north of Bakersfield California back in the 1950s. Test flights from Edwards were always braking the sound barrier over us. It made my dad mad as hell. He never got used to it. If he had had a heart condition he would have died. He was like Fred Sanford in “Sanford and Son”. We always laughed about it, but he didn’t think it was funny. I thought it was very interesting and kind of looked forward to them.
