ftrplt I have an Mpeg I downloaded from somewhere showing an F14 going between the carrier and one of it's escorts. Altitude <100'.
They're a maximum of 200 mts apart...and he's is definately supersonic...one very loud crack as he passes between the ships...the decks of which are lined with hooting and hollering, camera armed septics.
Why would the pigs have hurt people in the HMAS Melbourne case when everyone in the Mpeg seems to be thoroughly enjoying the show?
Pretty spectacular how the shockwaves are disturbing the water just behind the aircraft too.
