I was replying to answers to my original question, which concerned
the utility of a noisy spy plane. No one implied that side-looking
radar was Aurora-specific.

Speed is impressive, but the argument isn't.

Naturally, the argument that there would be no sound would be a good one;
however in my question, noise was a given.

Very well.

I doubt it matters as much to the politicians who have to deal with the
fallout.

Hmm... which "argument" was that? Those systems have been used
on airborne recon platforms for decades. There is nothing at all
Aurora-specifc about it.

Well, speed is about the *most* "impressive" thing about Aurora. :->

The argument about "hearing booms" is not a very good one.
> you're going to find me ready for you one day.
Don't be too sure. The SR-71 flew such missions for decades at "only" Mach 3,
and despite thousands of attempts to shoot them down, they were never "ready"
enough for it. I would not expect anyone to suddenly be MORE ready for a
vehicle that operates at TWICE the speed.
>It matters only a little that you're gone when I find out you've been there.
I think it probably matters quite a bit to the Pilot and RSO. :-)
