Re: F14 breaks the sound barrier

Being a geek when it comes to military aircraft, i've seen still pictures of this kind of thing before but it featured an RAF tornado.

With the aircraft so low the vorticies and shockwaves will always look spectacular. Unfotunately in the UK planes cant fly that low and that fast over land

It makes excellent video footage, but I do question what was going on and why were people so close, was it an experiment? or some Pilot showing off?

PLanes making tight hign G turns produce a similar effect with vorticies streaming off the wing tips at least and in some cases the entire wing.
