Shock Waves by John Doughty Jr

"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
