![["Mrs. Foster has expressed concerns about the sonic boom studies being conducted in Oklahoma City to the Federal Aviation Agency. The Agency promised to address complaints and pay damage claims. Civic leaders in Oklahoma City support the testing as it may benefit the development of aviation industries in Central Oklahoma. The FAA has issued a pamphlet about the program in response to public reaction. Mrs. Foster has asked Senator Mike Monroney to take action to stop the sonic boom tests in the area."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_038_8_47_6_0020.jpg "Concerns about Sonic Boom Testing in Oklahoma City")

The flights will be conducted by the Strategic Air Command and information about sonic booms, training of bomber crews, and flight details are provided. The sonic booms created by the high-speed flights are not harmful but may cause minor damage such as breaking glass or plaster cracks. The Air Force assures that personal injury will not occur due to the sonic booms."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_038_8_47_4_0022.jpg "Sonic Boom: B-58 Supersonic Training Flights and Safety Information")
![["Representative Roman Pucinski has accused the FAA of underestimating the intensity of sonic booms produced by airplanes flying over O'Hare Field in Chicago. The FAA spokesperson, Mark Weaver, disputes these claims and states that the noise level of the booms does not increase with speed. The FAA is conducting tests in Oklahoma City to determine the intensity of sonic booms and whether American supersonic transport planes can meet noise regulations. City leaders in Oklahoma City have been informed that the intensity of the booms is influenced by the altitude and weight of the plane. Pucinski has introduced a bill in congress to limit the intensity of sonic booms to 11/2 pounds per square foot. The FAA is working on a report on the issue, and the outcome of the tests in Oklahoma City will help determine future regulations on sonic booms."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_038_8_47_3_0030.jpg "FAA Spokesman Challenges Sonic Boom Intensity")
