File talk:FA-18 Hornet breaking sound barrier (7 July 1999).jpg

This was shown in a Popular Science (October 2005 - Nasa's Secret Space Plan) about the ease of photoshop these days. Thought it was a fake, but then I checked the article just now and it turns out this was one of the photos that was real.

Yeah it is, It was on a TopTrumps card for fighter jets. Cardboard boxA 18:04, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Articles about this photo
I've been collecting info about this photo, and similiar ones of the Prandtl-Glauert singularity clouds on my site,. They provide useful and interesting information about this shot and the conditions when it was taken. Unfortunately the best & most informative of these articles ("Awesome - Wanna see a sonic boom?", by Bruce Stephen Holms) was emailed to me and I don't have an original website to include here to point to. If you feel it is appropriate or useful, feel free to reference my site. Otherwise perhaps we can find the original. jwilkinson 02:41, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
