Sometime around 1960, USAF experimented with civilian tolerance for sonic booms by regularly flying supersonic over Oklahoma City. They discovered that the public doesn't put up with it. You _can't_ fly supersonic over populated areas of democracies, whether in military or civilian aircraft. It is only political in that any government that allows it will get voted out of office. The Pacific cries for hypersonic civil aviation. It isn't easy, though. -- Don Varvel
