I don't think the boom would be heard in the pit, as you are moving faster than the sound is, but for movie makers i could see that mod being very useful.
All you'd need to do is create a PRS file that points to the speed of the plane. I think this is done in the EFF file for the planes. It could be as simple as making it part of the common aircraft sounds, so you wouldn't need to back track through the game and find every supersonic plane.
Unfortunately, my knowledge beyond the prs file is very limited but a more experienced modder should have no problem at least creating the PRS for the sound.
As for visual effects, that is probably more complicated but i've also seen other new effects added to the game. Like the mushroom clouds for bigger bombs.
I think its probably possible, but maybe a lot of work to take on for such a small effect.
