The FAA's eight daily sonic booms cracked the city's windows
In this episode, you’ll hear how federal planners ran six months of supersonic tests over Oklahoma City and what the city experienced as a result. We follow the schedule, the aircraft, the damage reports, and the bureaucratic decisions that set the experiment in motion - and ask what the city was owed.
Person: Federal Aviation Administration
Date: February 3-July 30, 1964
Location: Oklahoma City
Event: Operation Bongo II supersonic test program
Damage claims processed: 4,629
- FAA selected Oklahoma City for proximity to the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center and Tinker Air Force Base, noting the population as “relatively tolerant.”
- Tests scheduled eight booms per day, starting about 7 a.m., over 26 weeks with two pressure phases (1-1.5 and 1.5-2 psf).
- Air Force jets used included F-104s, B-58s, F-101s, and F-106s flying prescribed corridors repeatedly.
- Within 14 weeks, 147 windows broke in two downtown bank buildings, contradicting the FAA’s glass-shattering assurances.
- A total of 9,594 building-damage complaints were filed; 4,629 formal damage claims were processed by the FAA.
