This shit is just kinda damned cool:

... makes me kinda sad that people are too pussified to allow them to break the sound barrier at a height where it is really visible and enjoyable to see at airshows.

AkademikONE · 03-21-2007, 07:09 PM

Got any high-res versions?

No hi-res, guys, someone emailed these to me

wootwoot · 03-21-2007, 07:20 PM

Can these pictures be promised to be ligit?

if they were allowed to break the sound barrier at airshows I might actually go to one

**Phlip** · 03-21-2007, 07:23 PM

Went to the site in the bottom of those pics, typed "sound barrier" in the search on the left and found this guy:

still not SUPER huge, but bigger than the ones I posted, and there were more out there

^^^^ Pwnd! Lolololo Mfknmsglngth!

theicecreamdan · 03-21-2007, 07:52 PM

why does it do that?

***S13SilviaGirl*** · 03-21-2007, 07:53 PM

That shit is the COOLEST Feeling EVER! Tomcats were the only ones that can break it at a level flight pattern. F/A-18' have to climb, dive and hit it as they are either going down or right as they level off.

They had an f-18 break it in Pensacola a few years back...not the 5 miles off the coast like they are supposed to and it actually broke a few windows in the homes in the area. Every once in a while they will let them 'bump' the barrier like in the 2nd pic. for airshows, but that is about it.

The second best sound/feeling/sight is them dropping bombs high order off the sides of the carrier.

I've seen the blue angels do this at Barnes AFB and they did a complete flyby with the sonic boom...
Then again we're used to planes with 3 bases near us...

I beg to differ...the F/A-18's are fighter attack...they drop bombs too!

illvialuver · 03-21-2007, 09:41 PM

yeah those pictures are cool as hell.

cotbu · 03-21-2007, 09:57 PM

welcome to the interweb

fromxtor · 03-21-2007, 10:01 PM

speaking of breaking the sound barrier Phil you should come to the air show here in the fall. Oh and Lisa My F-15Es drop bombs and are still only designated a fighter.

benefitx · 03-21-2007, 10:25 PM

LB.Motoring · 03-21-2007, 10:34 PM

HalveBlue · 03-21-2007, 10:42 PM

Prandtl-Glauert singularities FTW!

Never seen one in person though.

We used to see B1's go on NOE flights when we were out in the desert doing FTXs. That and F-16 and F-22 dogfights.

Never saw/heard one going supersonic though.

baahhhhh!
Lisa.

So, B1 swept wings. or whatever the term is called. I don't remember.
now THAT is cool.

Don't get me wrong, FA18 is cool as heck, but a B1 is super boss.

louis110 · 03-21-2007, 11:10 PM

I...love...planes!

airliners.net has excellent photos. All are high quality and taken by pro photographers.

fromxtor · 03-21-2007, 11:26 PM

^^Phil Ill update that whole thing in the appropriate section. I will be here for the airshow.

bboyt3nsk · 03-21-2007, 11:42 PM

Thats crazy!
One time when the space shuttle was about to land there was a low rumble and my windows shook, I had no idea what it was but later on the news I saw it was the shuttle. Obviously Im new to Central Florida but that was damn cool.

C. Senor · 03-21-2007, 11:43 PM
