I remember my Dad talking about flying over the house, during WW2. I was too young to really remember. It was something young pilots could get away with, even though it violated protocol. Of course he wasn't flying jets, but it could still get you excited enough to drop what you were doing and race outside to watch. I do that today if I hear an odd engine sound. I can still identify a lot of planes just by their sound.
Fighter pilots must be extremely disciplined in their actions. This double [supersonic] fly-over was NO mistake; and was probably [99.999%] NOT authorized by any sane BAF commander. The state of Brazil owns these aircraft and has trained, authorized and ENTRUSTED the pilots to fly them as prescribed by their orders. For this reason alone these pilots should be permanently removed from the cockpit ["grounded"] and should face military discipline [IE: courts marshall or command administrative action].

It appears, in Mario's photo, the brakes were deployed on both the upper and lower sides of the wing. Perhaps they had not intended to break windows. It's a great photo of the Mirage.
Some years ago, when the "new" Ottawa International Airport had undergone major restoration, the U.S.A.F. sent a Starfighter from Plattsburg Airbase to do a celebratory fly past. Must have been a rookie pilot as he decide to break the sound barrier flying over the new building. Needless to say, every window was broken.
