No matter how many times you have seen the blackbird, you want to see it again.

And seeing it go super sonic makes it even a greater event

I was there. The high speed pass you could not see. They did 3 fuel dumps at Mach 3 at 80k plus feet...The triple sonic boom came about 90 seconds after the pass..
