If your talking about as the plane passes....its the clouds formed when the plane is breaking the sound barrier.

Thats a good video. I wonder if he lived. He had to know something was wrong to have the time to eject.

The Navy has put a stop to all low altitude supersonic flights by F-14s (not that there are many left, they're all being replaced with super hornets) because they have a high rate of engine stalls. Something about the density altitude being too low for the engines to be able to handle when travelling at mach 1+
Oh, and they both got out and survived. I was on cruise (deployment) when that happened.

Amazing how fast technology is changing.

The new F22 Raptor can not only break the sound barrier, but "super-cruise" - cruise at well over mach 1 at low altitudes WITHOUT using afterburner.

Ain't that the DANG truth!! I was thinking, "Man, what a cool vid." Wow
At least the pilot made it!! [sm=smiley20.gif]

after the sound barrier is broken the flight is actualy pretty smooth and theres little resistance, pretty cool.

it would be cool to see a jet breaking the sound barrier in person.
