I believe that there are areas in Southern California where you can take a private jet supersonic with the appropriate okays. There's a little desert town called Mojave, near Edwards AFB, that has a big airport used by various aerospace companies and entrepreneurs (Burt Rutan works out of there). The last time I was there, there were several Vietnam-era supersonic jet fighters in civilian colors parked in front of various hangars. Also long lines of jumbo jets and other mothballed passenger jets stored there by the airlines. Kinda surreal to see all that big flying iron just sitting out there in the middle of the desert. The road goes right by it all.
