This phenomena only happens at the instant an aircraft breaks

the sound barrier.

It literally appears as though the aircraft goes through a wall.

B-1B Spirit

F-18 Blue Angel

FA-18 Super Hornet

F-18’s

F-14 Tomcat

Another F-18 Hornet

Man, these thing go fast!

Alas, I couldn't find any Concorde pictures of it entering the sound barrier. I do though like the title of this one.

Say Good-Bye to this Gorgeous Aircraft.
