Default San Diego sound barrier

Not sure many of us in the forum would be too upset about this one.

Did Navy break sound barrier off Del Mar? | UTSanDiego.com

Best part of the article:

Reality check: One of the narrators of the video show called the U.S. Air Force's F-22 Raptor the "most feared" combat aircraft in the sky. That's not true. The F-22 has had many technological problems and has never been used in combat. All Raptors were grounded for months last year due to the ongoing problems with its pilot oxygen system. Republican U.S. Sen. John McCain says the Raptor has no purpose.

I'm surprised that is even news worthy...

I would rather them put bans on these dummies riding around in their cars bumping that bass. I don't care about a plane breaking the sound barrier.

Hey, the Raptor has a purpose: To line the pockets of the Defense industry and the Congressional delegations of the districts they're built in.
