According to the trivial fact at the end...our very own Moderatrix is breaking barriers left & right.

You wanted everyone to see happy faces bumping into each other?? 
I have to admit, I'd never seen the "cloud like" pattern around a jet breaking the sound barrier. Amazing. |

There are some spectacular shots of the wave, but it is not a function of breaking the sound barrier. Under certain conditions of humidity and temperature, an aircraft going transonic creates the classic ballerina-skirt.
There is a (doctored) photo of a WW1 fighter in a dive with the skirt. I wish I could find it again.
My next plane will be able to do three times the speed of silence.

There is a photo somewhere of Thrust SSC breaking the sound barrier on land.. an average speed of 763mph over a mile...
I found out that the gas mileage sucks though 0.04mph. That beast sucked fuel at a rate of 4.8 gallons a second!!

Good way to check the wheel alignment (and brakes).
