[@az2vet698]

Yea, the Tomcat pass was so much better. You could see the plane off in the distance at altitude then start making a decending turn while increasing speed and you could actually watch the wings sweep back and the massive increase of speed. And it gave a better sonic boom.

[@ksamos]

Ahhhhhh, the F-14 Tomcat, the muscle car of fighters. Its time has passed, but all of us who worked on her will always remember that bird. It just looked fast while parked on the flight deck. I served in the early 90's with F-14's and remember talking to some of our pilots. They mentioned that if they ever got into a jam in a dogfight, they just move their left hand forward all the way and they were gone. The Superbug is nice, it's just no Tomcat.

The second time is kind of cool.

Not one of these videos shows an actual sonic boom of any kind. It has been unlawful to exceed the speed of sound over the continental USA (or within a certain number of miles off the coast) for dozens of decades. It takes Presidential authorization to do so. Any pilot doing so unlawfully would be court martialed, career over and in jail. What you are seeing are vapor cones due to humidity and pressure, while flying at transonic speed which is the fastest they can legally fly here. That was not breaking the sound barrier. If it had, every person standing there with no hearing protection on (hundreds of them btw) would all be permanently deaf, plus lots of physical bodily damage from the pressure wave would have hospitalized them and killed most of them, and thousands of windows in cars and buildings would have blown out and buildings would have collapsed People need to learn some actual science. Even our military breaking the speed of sound is incredibly rare and only happens in wars, with special authority from the commander under special circumstances. The number of times it has happened over the USA in the last 80 years can be counted on 2 hands and always results in destruction of property and physical harm to civilians.

[@coma13794]

@@riverpirate1022 you're generally right for ops over the US....like 99% of the airshow videos with sneak passes. However, there absolutely are supersonic passes that happen during carrier visits (Tiger Cruises, I believe they're called, for family members). It's usually pretty clear when it's a supersonic pass vs transonic. The part about everyone going deaf is not really accurate. There are undisputed low level supersonic passes (see the F111's busting the windows out in the ranges in Australia) where people are laughing about it. They're certainly not going deaf or bleeding from their ears. So, I know where you're coming from, and you're generally right for a bunch of cases, but you're underestimating how often it happens over water, and what the physiological effects are.

[@SCP-POOL]

The USN / DoD made a huge mistake not following Northrop Grumman's plans for the Tomcat. ( www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/29653/this-is-what-grummans-proposed-f-14-super-tomcat-21-would-have-actually-looked-like ) The Super Tomcat 21 was a beast! There was even plan for an eventual stealth version of it. That got dropped because believe it or not there was plans for a Naval variant of the F-22N. During the YF-22 & YF-23 competition Northrop even had a Naval variant of the F-23N. There were even bomber variants of both already designed & in the case of the FB-22 planned. Thanks to Hussein killing the program at 187 after he got into office, all plans were shelved. BTW the USAF, DoD, JCoS all told Hussein the absolute bare minimum F-22 they could get by with was 350, but below 400 was extremely crippling to operational readiness & effectiveness. The original plan was 600+. Out of the 187 made only 160 are combat capable. Trump ordered an immediate study into the cost to restart F-22 production. Most of the tooling had been destroyed for National Security reasons, the lines that still existed were completely converted to 100% F-35 production, the rest shutdown. It was estimated to cost between $2-4 Billion just to get the lines restarted. However all the systems are based on late 80s/90s tech which isn't made anymore, so they would have to redesign the plane. This brought the cost of each new F-22 to $500+ million each & that was based on buying 400. That's why everything is being poured into the F-35, upgrading the F-22s, F-18 Block 3 & F-15X.

I was on the USS Saratoga on a reserve 2 week cruise in the late 70's. There was a squadron of reservists getting the carrier qualifications. I was working in the comm spaces (radioman) typing a message when there was a BANG and the whole ship dropped about a 1/2 to 1 inch. The captain came on the PA right after to let everyone know that reservists were leaving and the commander did a super sonic flyby. All I could think was that there was a lot of force in that shock wave.

So many of these videos are high subsonic or transonic but this was truly supersonic. You didn't hear a think until it was several plane lengths past the camera/ recorder. Great job.

It was about Mach 0.95. Not quite supersonic.

[@riverpirate1022]

Not one of these videos shows an actual sonic boom of any kind. It has been unlawful to exceed the speed of sound over the continental USA (or within a certain number of miles off the coast) for dozens of decades. It takes Presidential authorization to do so. Any pilot doing so unlawfully would be court martialed, career over and in jail. What you are seeing are vapor cones due to humidity and pressure, while flying at transonic speed which is the fastest they can legally fly here. That was not breaking the sound barrier. If it had, every person standing there with no hearing protection on (hundreds of them btw) would all be permanently deaf, plus lots of physical bodily damage from the pressure wave would have hospitalized them and killed most of them, and thousands of windows in cars and buildings would have blown out and buildings would have collapsed People need to learn some actual science. Even our military breaking the speed of sound is incredibly rare and only happens in wars, with special authority from the commander under special circumstances. The number of times it has happened over the USA in the last 80 years can be counted on 2 hands and always results in destruction of property and physical harm to civilians.

[@airprok8328]

You couldn’t be more wrong. I know what you are saying but this is a Mach 1 or better flyby.

[@lordadams5762]

Imagine your inside that thing, I'm amazed how they drive and how fast the pilot also thinks

[@beefeatereater9067]

Going straight is easy, the very complex happens when the pilot must to break that "leveled flight" in order to change the angle and direction of the plane. Literally, they're exposed to 5, 7 G,s of Inertial Force.

F-14 is my favorite fighter jet (and I say jet because the Mustang will always reign supreme) this great country has ever had, but dang it if I don't love me an F-18 Hornet. Saw Maverick today and just had to come here. That movie has made me fall back in love with the Hornet. Incredible video as always. Fun story, I worked at a summer camp last year and 4 of these babies buzzed over us staffers while we were having a pool party. They had to be about 50-75 yards above our heads. The water in the pool was almost like you're at the beach, it was incredible. I still think about that day and wish like heck somebody had gotten video

I was at a air show where they did a low level supersonic flyby. It was just surreal seeing the jet coming but hearing nothing. Watching it silently pass overhead. And the BOOOM!! It smacks you in the chest and tries to knock you off your feet! Incredible!!!

[@npluto87]

If you're in the US, they're not allowed to go supersonic at airshows. What you likely saw is a pass just under the speed of sound, which still causes you to not hear it until it's right in front of you, and it sounds like a boom, because it comes on so sudden. But if it was a sonic boom, your ears would be bleeding and every window in the vicinity would've been shattered.

[@riverpirate1022]

No you didn't. Breaking the sound barrier is extremely destructive to anything within a hundred miles. Not one of these videos shows an actual sonic boom of any kind.
