Remark Photographer
166611 / AA-320 (cn F104) The Super Hornet approaches the sound barrier. Due to the high humidity at Oceana the effect of the Prantl-Glauert cloud becomes clearly visible. This is a shockwave where the section with the clowd has low pressure, the above section is of high air pressure.

For ur Information: What u can see here is not! the shockwave(here pressure increases, so water doesnt condense), its a expansionwave(here pressure decreases, so the water in the air condenses, what u can see in the picture)...

I honor your photo taking abilities

A visitor from United States posted Fri March 14, 2008:
5 stars for you, sir!! I bet this is hard to take; going 770 miles, witch breaks the speed of sound, depending on the temperature, that is. But all aside, RIGHT ON!!!

A visitor from Australia posted Thu July 19, 2007:
Very hard to get the sound barrier in a photo

A visitor from Australia posted Sun December 24, 2006:
Capturing the the main shockwave is of awosome site in blue sky and cloud in the back ground. A great shot well taken.

A visitor from Israel posted Sat December 2, 2006:

A visitor from United States posted Sun September 4, 2005:
I live near Oceana & that's not an easy shot to get...

A visitor from India posted Thu August 25, 2005:

A visitor from United States posted Tue August 23, 2005:
Great Pic

A visitor from United States posted Mon August 22, 2005:
A rare catch of the trans-sonic shockwave.

A visitor from United States posted Fri August 19, 2005:
The photo is crisp and I like the results of the fighter passing the sound barrier.

A visitor from Canada posted Thu November 25, 2004:
One clear picture of punching thru the barrier a great teaching tool

A visitor from Austria posted Thu November 25, 2004:
High speed pass - very high humidity - perfect light - nice cloud formation -

A visitor from Canada posted Thu November 25, 2004:
It's amazing that only 44 years after the first powered flight in history we broke the sound barrier!
