Reply #9: I heard and felt the sonic booms but they were pretty faint. I was surprised they

said they went supersonic heading into Seattle and I'm at the north end of the Lake - Kenmore. I heard a low boom and felt a slight vibration of the house twice, but couldn't figure out what it was -- not like any sonic booms I'd heard before but I'm guessing it was the distance.

Apparently the SS made the plane land at Kenmore Air here (I can see it from my living room window) but I didn't know that until I read on the Seattle Times site later.

I ALSO read en route to Glaser's house they drove through the Arboretum and people were lining the route. I would have loved to have been there -- or at Boeing Field.

That must have been a thrill to have it fly over! When I was taking flying lessons at Boeing Field in 1970 and walked out the back door of my flight school and across the runway there was a gorgeous 707 with United States of America on it. It was so humbling and I felt so patriotic even though it was for Nixon. :7
