Navy alerts Goa coastal residents about super sonic boom

Panaji: Indian navy has asked the coastal residents in Goa not to get worried as that they might hear large noise of super sonic boom as MiG-29K supersonic flights were practicing off the coast.
Indian Navy Public Relation Officer (PRO) Cdr MC Joshi has said that the residents may hear sonic boom sounds and they need not panic as it is associated with the training of MiG-29K aircraft, which is happening off Goa coast.
The defence official said that without disturbing the resident population of Goa, MiG-29K pilots at INS Hansa will fly all flights involving supersonic profiles deep into the sea and at very high altitudes.
"However, there is still a possibility that sonic booms could be heard by the local population and our fishing communities from time to time," he added.
