I heard the shuttle land at NASA  (Kennedy) several days ago ...
it seems to have a double sonic boom (spaced about a second
apart, that would depend on speed of landing approach, and I was
about 100 miles away from landing site). When I asked an
aeronautical engineer who used to work at NASA she said the
double boom is because the high tail is outside the usual
super-sonic cone ... thus you get a shock wave from two areas
(thus two BOOMS). If this is indeed true, then a shuttle should
show two booms as a sonic signature. I am not an expert, but
would like to see some comment whether this is indeed true. (This
may not post, as this is my 1st attempt to answer a net post)
