"Shock Waves"
Two F-14A Tomcats (specifications) from Fighter Squadron Two (VF-2), known as
the 'Bounty Hunters' from Miramar, California, surpassing the speed of sound
(Mach One) as they thunder by the aircraft carrier USS Ranger (CV-61)
(specifications). A condensation cloud surrounds each of the Tomcats as they
break the sound barrier at approximately 770 miles per hour. The phenomenon of
the bursting cloud is caused by humidity in the atmosphere condensing on the
shock wave as the airflow over the aircraft increases past Mach One. As the two
Tomcats, or "Mach Busters," pass low over the ocean, the disturbance from the
shock waves churns up the water's surface
