air show jets
Yesterday was the first of 3 days for the Toronto Air show.
Pefect weather for it, 20deg C / severe clear and sunny.
Watching the mil jets, during the high speed / high G manouvers, a "white layer" was visible on the wings.
Is this a "shock wave" caused by supersonic / trans sonic flow over the wings ? ... and the prelude to a sonic boom ?
