Aircraft Taken at More: Switzerland - Air Force More: McDonnell Douglas F/A-18C Hornet More: Off-Airport - Axalp More: Switzerland, October 13, 2005 Remark Photographer J-5022 (cn 1371/SFC022) Look at the shockwaves on that! I can't say that I have seen shockwaves as visible as this before, just one of those lucky shots I guess. More: Scott Rathbone Contact Scott Rathbone Link to me!
