Well, that sure woke them up...

The best flyover I ever saw was at a 4th of July celebration on the grounds of the Westward Expansion Memorial (The Gateway Arch) in St. Louis. Just after sunset. A B-1 Lancer flew over, couldn't have been much over 1200' off the ground, all four engines full afterburner. The announcer said he was doing .95 Mach.

Every car alarm in downtown St. Louis went off.
