breaking the sound barrier... [pic]
 

wtf :upsidedow :disgust

that's a real pic...

yeah the photographer who took that pic won a prize... it was back in 2003 or so.

THATS FUCKIGN AWESOME :thumbsup

sweeet pic :thumbsup

well i think abcnews might disagree with you...here's their caption...

A U.S. Navy F-18 breaks the sound barrier at the California International Airshow on Saturday, Oct. 1, 2005, in Salinas, Calif. The cloud built up around the jet as it reached the speed of sound.

lol yea its a cloud you cant see sound

cloud or not that's a beauty

ok, those jets look all the same ;) I saw a pic of one in the newspaper some years ago which said that...

here are some more, they're pretty trippy :upsidedow

crazy shit...imagine what it would look like if you broke the light barrier lol. probably hella lightning bolts and shit around the plane...

of course it's not sound itself... it's the soundwaves condensing the water vapour in the air... this is what looks like a "cloud" then. physics lesson #1 finished.

stickygreen... whos the girl in your sig?

i dunno, if i had to guess i'd say she's from a perfectgonzo site though. looks like their photography...

dude that pic has been around

i guess you didn't read...the pic is from oct. 1st so it couldn't have been around that much...

This happens near my house at least a couple times a week. I live near an Air Force Base. The sonic booms give the windows a nice shake at the same time. Nearly wet my pants first time I heard that. And to go along with all the earthquakes....California is such an exciting place to live. :upsidedow

which base? travis?

Andrews, they scream out of here so fast sometimes its just truly amazing. I went to airshows with my dad. But I never have seen stuff like I have seen out here....Blackbirds come out every once in awhile....

you ever seen anything out of the ordinary?

meh.... :)

fucking awesome! see sig!

wow nice pic over there :D

Classic pic, awesome shot :thumbsup

wow

seen it before, but its a great picture!

That is sweet..I can dig it! :D

Damn, that was great!

I'm sorry but hotter than your sig man.

Thats a badass pic

Nice photo

That's not a cloud and it's a well documented event. This has been captured on film only a hand full of times but it is a real picture.

you can find a few more here..

The is wicked... needless to saying the timing on those photos have to perfect to capture that!

What I think is incredible is that they have to be flying over desert or water to do it becasue otherwise it will damage glass in peoples homes and cars from the wave... that's pretty bad ass.

those pics are really cool!

Wow, that' just so beautiful. Imagine the speed !! :helpme

OMG that's pretty amazing.

nice shot even if its photoshoped

I wonder if the pilot would hear anything? I mean, he's leaving the sound of his jet behind him, right?

I'm no physics expert, hehe.

incredible

:smokin

Which one, the top image or bottom.

J/K great shot.

Imppressive . First time I see that
