Hi Jez,

Having tested aircraft/engine combinations,in the world's largest 
supersonic wind tunnel, up to Mach 3.0, I'm not a fan of supersonic 
commercial flight.  To me, the requirements are too stringent and the 
benefits too few, to make this a worthwhile way to spend resources.  And 
I still have cracks in my kitchen ceiling that were caused by sonic 
booms provided by USAF F-35s flying their test corridor which passed 
near my house.  From what I read, it is still not ready for action.
