Boom (YC W16) – Supersonic Passenger Airplanes

specially if the F-18 pilot is making sure that every bug smasher from Mount Whitney to the Mojave knows what true speed is.

I've read and re-read that story so many times, each reading results in a fresh batch of goosebumps. I'd love to read the book (Sled Driver, I think?), but it is over $500 on Amazon. I wish they either ordered another print OR published as an ebook.

There is an ebook version floating around the internet.

Yikes! I have two copies, having thought that I'd lost mine years ago -- bought a new one -- then found the original again.

Are you interested in selling one of them? If so I promise to give it a very good home, I still have books from my childhood in great condition.

Someone emailed me a pdf (thank you!) but I'd love to be able to have a physical copy too.

If you feel like parting with one it would be cool to consider the pilot who posted the story (as he's lamenting that it's too expensive) :D
