Many thanks to everyone for your appreciation of this pic. !!!
I went at an airshow, Bagotville / Quebec, at age 6 or 7, and was overflown
by the Golden Hawks that came in after a dive ( .. overfly was not forbidden at the time...!), at what was near sonic speed:
the thunder and sheer power surge was absolutely amazing, nothing that the Snowbirds could equal ever after; the show also included
the CF-100's and the new CF-101 Voodoo, which came in completely silent with a gun braking bang
striking us long seconds after it had already passed... Those were the days when sky was the limit...
A flight of CF-100 could be overheard from miles away, even if all you could only see was their contrails high in the sky!
Really this was roaring fifties! Today there are a lot more NO NO's and quiet/subdued turbofans...

(Typically, jet engines of the forties, fifties and sixties did not produce sound, rather they whistled, screech and screamed like hell ; IL-2 is very timid by comparison ).
( A testimony to that is the "B.O.A.C." intro of "Back to the USSR" / on the 'Beatles White Album'; but that was only a mid 60's commercial flight...)
