It's my understanding that tactical aircraft don't usually spend a lot of time supersonic. May not even be able to, if they're carrying a bombload.

And from what I've heard from friends and read, going supersonic doesn't really feel all that different inside the plane. You're going faster, but nothing weird happens that would need specific training to cover.

Edit: so it was a deliberate choice to not go supersonic, saving money.
