I think fighter pilots are a different breed. In great shape and extremely smart

[bobcog]

well acceleration is really what gives the "sense of speed"

[Anon-]

I'm a skydiver, and typical fall rate is 120mph, but it feels like nothing until you're next to or punching a cloud. Then you realize how fast you're really going.

I grew up near the El Toro marine base in California and those guys seemed to be breaking the sound barrier regularly over us and I am Not complaining.

Same reason 60 feels slow on a motorbike until you lean into a corner and get close to the ground then all of a sudden feels like you're doing 100 😂

Apparently the Midwest is not one of those restricted places

As soon as I found out as a child that you can’t have glasses and fly, the dream of being an air pilot went out the window, but I have always since a child and all the airshows I’ve gone to think this is the coolest job in the world

1350 cruising speed of a concorde is impressive

[aburr]

Beautiful definition of the speed of sound. Thank you!

[lucakrokrowinkel]

How does one even theoretically hit mach 2 in f16 anywhere even close to the ground.

[MudflyWatersman]

Growing up near Air Force Base in the 1970s Sonic booms were a regular occurrence back then.

[emblake]

1500mph and am on my bike 110mph thinking am fast 😅

[DeleteNoSoonerThanYesterday]

If the F-16 was entering service for the first time today it would still look like it's from the future.

[nomah]

U can’t feel constant velocity. U can only feel acceleration.

[patmer]

Blackbird “Mach 2 is my cruising speed!”😅

[ROBBINYATHONGS]

Imagine all humans loved each other and worked to get off earth since technology was first realized

[carl]

In the 70's I lived on a air base, f-16's we braking the soud all the time, and living next to the tarmac, the booms shook the house! 5-6 times a day!

[Mark____llll]

Going that fast and never accounting for the curve of the earth…
