If you mean this photo,
then i'm afraid that i will have to dissapoint you now (if you havent been yet) because the picture is a fake. It was montaged by Bill Rose for the October 1995 issue of Astronomy Now (UK) magazine.

They then interviewed a man who described what it felt like on the ground, when this aircraft passed over. The pressure on the ears, the severe vibrations on the body and the intense noise.

Aurora is in service has been for a few years, there are plans apparantly looking at retrofitting it with a cannon. Could be leathal!

No, I think Aurora is either a recon plane or a bomber. Retrofitting the craft with any kind of external weapon will compromise the aircraft's aerodynamics, and will sacrifice much speed. Unless, the cannon is stored inside the craft. I think the aircraft is a bomber, an aircraft like the B-2, that will drop bombs and then bolt out of their. unless, it has a surveillance camera that mounts flush into the aircraft's belly, and will not compromise the aerodynamics of the craft.
