Sonic booms in the area
may be a thing of the past
F-15 sonic booms over the
Middle Georgia area arc almost a
thing of the past.
A recent change that reduced per
formance requirements from Mach 2
to Mach 16 for F-15 functional test
(lights means that most test flights
can now be conducted over the
Atlantic Ocean.
The reductions resulted in more
internal fuel capacity and greater
range for the aircraft to reach outly
ing supersonic areas over the
Atlantic Ocean, said Capt. Brad
Franklin, chief pilot with the F-15
Systems Program Office. The flight
checks began last month.
"I'm sure the people in Middle
Georgia have already noticed a sig
nificant drop in the booms," said
Franklin.
All F-15s coming out of pro
grammed depot maintenance require
supersonic flight to check engine
related systems on the aircraft.
Previously, the 339th Test
Squadron flew its supersonic por
tion of the old route east from
Columbus to between Perry and
Hawkinsvillc at 39,000 and 50,000
feet of altitude. Currently, the su
personic portion, when the sonic
boom occurs, is over the Atlantic
Ocean in training areas off the

Georgia coast.
"The fuel was our biggest prob
lem (before)," the captain said, "It
kept us here in the local area."
One of their main advantages of
the speed reduction is the decrease
in the intensity of the shock wave
and damage to ground structures.
This noise reduction fits in line
with the Air Force Material
Command's Good Neighbor Policy.
During its first month of opera
tion, 14 functional flight checks
were accomplished with only two
flights using the old route.
According to Franklin, more than
90 percent of the functional flights
arc expected to be conducted over
the Atlantic.
However, there will be some sit
uations when the new route over
the Atlantic Ocean cannot be used.
Thunderstorms along the route,
high seas preventing rescue and ma
jor military exercises arc some of
the reasons precluding the use of
the new route.
In cases when the old route has to
be used, potential damage in the
Middle Georgia area will be less be

By ANISSA CLEMONS

when her mom Sally Sampson
brought a package to her. In it was
a letter from Capper's Weekly,
which is a Midwestern newspaper
out of Topeka, Kansas, informing
her one of her drawings had been
chosen to be in their newspaper.
"It came as a total surprise, since
I didn't know it was entered,"
Salcna said.
"My mom sent my drawing to
my grandmother in lowa, and she
sent it in to the newspaper.”
Salcna's drawing is of a
Westfield Hornet, which is her
school's mascot. She drew the hor
net at school during free time.
Salcna likes to draw, "especially an
imals."
She said when she grows up, ”1
want to either draw or write stories
or such:"
Mrs. Sampson said, "Any free
time she has that’s what she docs."
This is the second time Salcna
has won a contest in Capper's
Weekly. Her first drawing was of
her and her two sisters. She's won
several other art contests. In recog
nition of her art, Salcna received a
