But this is not a photo of the plane breaking through the sound barrier?
For I think that looks similar in a photo...

This plane was flying as close to the sound barrier as they are aloud to during British air displays. Maybe its different in Europe but the powers that be are a bit wimpy about noise over here. :er:

Thanks Nitefly

Oh, I think the powers to be don't even give permissions for ANY airshows any more over here after Ramstein.....

Nice shots. Vapor trails are really neat.

Thanks Anty.
