Another goof in ep 2 26 'the Black Box'


In the beginning they show a B47 using JATO (jet assisted take off)and
then go to a scene in Drucker's store where a sonic boom knocks cans
off a shelf. First a B47 COULD NOT break the sound barrier and cause a
sonic boom (operation speed was less that 600 knots, the speed of sound
is around 700 knots)and second, by 1963-64 the B47 was no longer in
operational service having been replaced by the B52 and B58. Recon
was flown mostly by F100, F4 and the RB-66 along with the U2 and a little
later the SR71 (F12) and not the RB47 that was retired and scrapped.

When it was still o.k. to break the sound barrier (1950s) I don't remember at any time things coming off shelves during such. They were very loud at times but telekinesis didn't happen.

Others may have different experiences. Tell us about them!
