FA-18 "Super Hornet" Breaks Sound Barrier
Nope. We're correct.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_cone
quote: "A common misconception is that this effect is the aircraft breaking the sound barrier."

It's not the sound barrier breaking: the sound is just the sound of the jet going by extremely fast and the shockwave comes from the vapor pressure of jet flying that low over water. Military jets are only allowed to break the sound barrier over specific areas, and definitely not over areas where there are large groups of people.
Still a cool video.
QFT. You wouldn't hear the plane before it passed if it was anywhere NEAR Mach 1.
Actually, I am pretty sure you guys are wrong. That shock collar like that will only happen at transonic speeds.

The sound of the jet you hear as it approaches I suspect is the sound of another jet off camera, or something. FYI, for air shows, they do quite frequently accelerate past the sound barrier.

This is only in the happy channel as the pilot forgot to release his thermonuclear warhead.
Hehe, I was going to ask, but I'll take it from you...

Vertical Landing. Do you get this? VERTICAL JET LANDING
Just a note, the F-22 production costs are currently more expensive than the F-35, but that's because the F-35 hasn't ramped up to full production yet. Once that becomes the case, the F-35 will end up costing more until its production stabilizes, and by that time the F-22 will end up dropping in price. Also of note, the F-22 surpasses the F-35 in most combat capabilities, be it air-to-air or air-to-ground. It has the capability of carrying more armaments, and a greater variety of armaments. It also has a better stealth aspect, higher speed, longer fuel range, and better maneuverability.
That's not to say that the F-35 is unnecessary. It's quicker to deploy and has better carrier capabilities. This is what it needs to fulfill its role as a strike fighter, whereas the F-22 is a superiority fighter.
This is why the F-15 Eagle has been in use for such a long time, alongside the F-16 Falcon, and the F-18 Hornet. While the Eagle was the main superiority fighter until the F-22, the Hornet and Falcon are carrier-capable, making their deployment easier.
Okay, wandered off for a bit there . . . long story short, fighter jets r cool.
