F-15 going supersonic, otherwise known as, "The Sound of Freedom!" Whoooaa!
The pilot of the seaplane was returning from Lake Chelan to Kenmore, via Stevens Pass, a route he regularly takes, said Todd Banks, president of Kenmore Air, which owns a floatplane facility at the north end of Lake Washington.
Banks said the pilot didn't check the notices of air restrictions before leaving Lake Chelan on Tuesday morning.
