I was just a 100 or so yards off the summit of North Kinsman yesturday afternoon and had the sonic boom. One of the coolest things I have ever experienced (after we realized what it was). There were two that sounded within a split second of each other. Don't know if that is common. I have photos from the summit, but the planes entered at the same time as heavy cloud cover and snow. No photos to be had of the planes.

Photo was taken about 20 minutes before the sonic boom.
