NFL Films and the Military Fly Over

If you ever experienced a flyover you will be glad their on our side. You cant hear those engines until they are literally right on top of you.

A year or two ago there was a fly over at Yankee Stadium. As the jets were returning to their base, they flew over New Rochelle and right over my house. We were about ready to evacuate the house thinking the jets were crashing. They were still very low. As they past over my neighbors house, the sonic boom caused a large tree in their yard to be uprooted and fell into the street. There was some rot to the base of the tree. The tree just missed a car traveling on the road and took out the power lines. The neighborhood was without power for almost 8 hours.

Needless to say here were a few people that did not appreciate this fly over.

Coincidence?

A routine fly-over would hardly be responsible for generating a "Sonic-Boom" least of all, causing a tree coming down.

The military does not do supersonic flight operations over densely populated areas, I would think especially anywhere near, or over the NYC metro area.
