Boom Supersonic Test Flight Today
« on: January 28, 2025, 13:53:20 UTC »
Boom is a company looking to bring supersonic commercial flight back!  The XB-1 is their supersonic demonstrator aircraft and today's test flight will be the first supersonic test flight!  After a number of sub-sonic test flights, today's supersonic test flight from southern California is slated to take place at around 11AM eastern today.  You can watch the test flight by going here:

And you can listen to the test flight on LiveATC's Mohave feed here:
