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!
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...
heh,that's cool. i've seen f/a-18's and f-14's do that before.strangely enough,it was from the flight deck of the constellation,just like that picture.hell,that could be one of "my" jets...but it looks like the # on the nose is 3xx,we were 2xx.
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.
