When I figure out how to put-up the video of this on a web site, I'll link it here (if someone will tell me how). The sight and sound, and the resultant damage are awesome............FRegards

Air National Guard photo? Save this pic. You may need it 20 years from now to prove this guy wasn't AWOL.

"...Boy that just warms the cockles of your heart, don't it?..."It surely did!
I shoulda added that a bunch of us old pilots were semi-affiliated with the Show, and had a hanger on the flight-line well-stocked with refreshments for the visiting Airmen and Crew.
We were on the tower frequency, and knew when the Phantom was 'Cleared for 600'! well, canuckville is metric, and these guys were former US Navy. There's a tad difference between 600 kph and 600 Knots, and it was a sultry day.
I'd never heard 800 car-alarms go off at once.............FRegards

More cool plane-breaking-the-sound-barrier photos:OK, the F-4 photo is plausible, but not the B-52. Somebody's pulling our leg on this one IMO.

To: toddst; gonzo
Yeah, upon closer inspection the B-52 photo DOES appear to be doctored. Whoops. <|:)~
