F/A-18 breaks the sound barrier

USN F/A-18 breaks the sound barrier (78684 bytes)

Navy Lt. Ron Candiloro's F/A-18 Hornet creates a shock wave as he breaks the sound barrier July 7.   The shock wave is visible as a large cloud of condensation formed by the cooling of the air. A smaller shock wave can be seen forming on top of the canopy. Candiloro is assigned to Fighter Squadron 151, currently deployed with the USS Constellation battle group.
