Your mention is the first I have heard of it. What are your sources for other states having this? Just curious.

Yep. Used to hear them as a kid frequently. Overland supersonic commercial flights were banned in '73 due to all the complaints.

Apparently you didn't see my question from earlier this morning. I thought you lived in the Atlanta area. You seemed to know a lot about it it. I thought you were north of Atlana somewhere.

OKC was a test area for sonic booms when I was in junior high. They were a regular occurrence then.
