I live in germany and can confirm that Jets go supersonic there. Live near both a US and german air force base and both sometimes go supersonic, more often it's the german air force to go after an unresponsive plane, probably about once every few months or so.
- spaetzleesser 6y agoIn an emergency yes but not several times a day as the OP described.
- zaarn 6y agoCould happen that there were several per day. Especially from US airforce bases in germany you can't expect much, they pretty much ignore air safety regulations entirely and do what they want (there have been multiple almost collisions over my city reported to air safety, several accidents where people got injured or died due to american personel acting reckless).
- ajmurmann 6y agoThis was in the late 80s and early 90s in a part of Rhineland-Palatinate that is still designated as a practice area for fighter jets. The low flying jets are still a common nuisance, but as far as I know going super sonic sad been banned since. I tried to google verification of this but only find more current information.
