F-22 Supersonic Flyby


You have a identifiable underside silhouette of the F-22 Raptor, plus the added Vapor cone (not a Sonic boom) and contrails which greatly enhances the plane itself. It appears to have been modified from the original source. There is a similar image in the Sonic boom article, but it appears to be another angle done by a Air Force Photographer (if the boilerplate on that image is correct). I believe the Navy version is much superior to the Air Force version.

 * They're the same image - the metadata is identical. They have just been edited differently. Perhaps the origins of this need to be sorted out first? --jjron (talk) 08:27, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I would believe the Navy site, but then again...--293.xx.xxx.xx (talk) 06:26, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ Support. I believe this image would make a good FI (Feature Image)  It shows a striking image of a F-22 with it's sonic boom. -- Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 09:16, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * It's transonic, the clouds are due to the Prandtl-Glauer Singularity, not the sonic boom. Sonic booms exist at the nose and tail of supersonic aircraft, or at locations of supersonic flow for transonic aircraft. Marimvibe (talk) 00:29, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * It can be modified to the proper "Boom" if the image goes to FI. --293.xx.xxx.xx (talk) 02:58, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
