The only shock wave about which he needs to be concerned would be from
F-35s flying out of Eglin AFB. At his low mass, he would probably never
know it.
Shock waves can be damaging, though. When they were test flying them
out of Atlanta, their supersonic corridor was from East Tennessee to
some point west of us. The sheet rock ceiling in my kitchen is in need
of extensive repair.

This Gulf Fritillary with a badly tattered wing has been hanging around for

The transonic shock wave hitting that gap will cause Mach tuck.
That wouldn't be pretty.
