Re: F14 breaks the sound barrier
VERY impressive, although I bet a few people need new eardrums after that.

First saw this clip over 5 years ago, since then it's regularly clogged our mailserver at work every time someone "discovers" it.

Things people will do to avoid having to use dial up on a carrier when bored.

The original clip is full speed all the way through, my guess if that someone has done a half-baked job of editing to get the slow-motion then it would cause this.

Re: F14 breaks the sound barrier
No i mean that it looks like the front nose of the F14 dips down then up as if its being bumped in the air at this time, not that the video looks wrong.

Re: F14 breaks the sound barrier
It looks like turbulence to me, I expect even the smallest amount would be hugely amplified at that speed.

Re: F14 breaks the sound barrier
Is it really breaking the sound barrier, or is that just a vortex/wake effect caused by being at such a low level over water?
I would have thought it technically challenging (though I am not sure if it is impossible) to go supersonic at such low levels (but then we do have supersonic cars now) as the air is so much more dense.

yeah I noticed that, it looks cool, but there was just something wrong with thte second boom, as if the plane had been knocked off course.
cool all the same, I wish it had sound though.

If it did, it wouldn't be ordinary sound... It'd be SUPERSOUND!
or something.
