those are pretty sweet. The f-14 looks like the back half is on fire. I would be awesome to fly a jet like that for a living.

some cargo birds CAN go supersonic. If empty. with no fuel. in a nose dive. from full throttle. at 70,000 feet AGL. above the ocean.

But certainly not the C-130 Hercules. Lawd, I'd be havin a heart attack if that bird were to go supersonic with me in it! Darn thing shakes enough in the first place. yo, Herc, wanna give it a shot?

747 is one of the fastest comercial airplanes. Cruises as mach .84. So I guess if you did was rich said, hitting mach 1 plus wouldnt be out of the question.

Speaking of planes, Boeing gets 787 order from Hong Kong\'s Lau
Must be nice to afford that!

you can actually see the vapor happen but it is very fast. I've seen a couple F-14s and F-18s tickle the sound barrier at Oceana NAS. The F-14 was incredible, you could see the plane closing like a missle with vapor whipping off the wings and fuselage, then it shot by show center almost silent, then a heartbeat later the jet roar made your chest rumble...WHAT A RUSH hammer

Nope never been supersonic.

As for those pics they are nice but a plane does not have to be supersonic to get that vapor cone. But it does make for a great photo.

As for getting from mach .84 to 1 will take quite a bit of extra. oomph. The f-14 and -18 needs afterburner to get the plane past mach 1.0. Right now the only plane in the US inventory that will allow the plane to cruise at over mach 1 without afterburning is the new F-22. A 747 will need to be in a deep dive to get there and then hope the wings hold up.
