Edwards to Host First US Supersonic Airshow in 13 Years
For the first time since 2009, the birthplace of supersonic flight is about to have an air show open to the public on-base. And considering the history of Edwards AFB and flight testing done there, the lineup and variety of aircraft will be quite unique from any other air show in the nation. (avgeekery.com) 更多...
Edwards has a great tour of the facility which includes a tour of the NASA facility. Best to check for up-to-date schedules and availability. Off the 14 FWY about 1~1.5hrs from LA. What history!They have it all. FYI, Palmdale airport is on the way there where the 'Skunk Works' is located. Possibly tours available there also.
Kind of surprised at this article.
Robins AFB has F-15s do supersonic runs all the time, post depot maintenance. Generally above FL400, but you can hear, and sometimes feel them.

Oh, we hear plenty of them here in the Edwards area too. However, this is an actual planned "demo" run during a public airshow, not just noise incidental to routine ops.
Really wish I could be there. I did get to go the the '97 50th anniversary of Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier on Oct 14, 1947.
It was very interesting to see the distortion ring of sound before it got to you!
