He had just done the fly-by past the stands and was going into a full-throttle dead-vertical climb right in front of me. I think he got on the throttle too hard too early and POW! - sounded like a nearby cannon.

The F-16's also came right overhead at about 600mph - but only 50'-100' up. The nearby powerlines vibrate and the air makes a weird hissing sound for about 30 seconds afterward.
