Yeah that picture is a classic. At least it looks like the one I have seen quite a few times. Thats one mean sonic boom!

There is a video floating around the Web of the same thing. It's of a F14 doing a fly-by of a naval ship. Untill I saw the video, I was very skeptical that it was just a Photoshop job. Not anymore!

No thats no joke, those guys let off a sonic boom when they bust through! You think a gn pulls hard

Though super sonic speeds aren't allowed under 30000 ft over land I have seen a plane make something like this at a Blue Angel show at near sonic speeds. It's really cool, but not a loud boom...

At the Wright Patterson AF Museum they have one of the engineering test F22s on display now.
Simply incredible.
There are litery thousands of holes around the exhaust cavity, to pump air thru to reduce the boundary layer, simply amazing.
