The only thing I can say about those twin sonic booms is that in a way I am both happy and sad at every shuttle landing at EAB. I live in Canyon Country about 50 miles south-west of Edwards and each landing does a number on my house. The house shakes and the window rattles and I now know what is like to live next to the only active space runway. Well at least I know when to turn on the TV to watch the landings without having to put up with too much bull from the networks. Gee I guess that its only a matter of time before somebody sues NASA for lowering their home values because of the shuttle sonic boom (it will most likely be some body in Kansas). :-) Sheldon Wigdor
