That was sick as Fu%*!! I wasnt expecting the sonic boom but a sub sonic pass. Sick vid 5 stars!

vapor cone means nothing more than the moisture in the air is sufficient to form a cloud, it can happen at speeds far under the sound barrier. im guessing the pilot was in the neighborhood of 600kias or so...NO 18 pilot wants to lose his wings by puttin down a sonic boom at a crowd of civilians lol.....however, it IS very cool! :)

@jeepnutnh That was a sonic boom! I know they aren't allowed to boom over civilians but this one did. and the boom is so authentic. have you ever heard a real boom before???

[tribeisone]

[Jvergakis]

@m3hd1one that wasnt a sonic boom there not allowed to break the sound barrier so close to people the ring around the jet was moisture like contrails

[bigbob6556]

@m3hd1one like jvergakis said, cant break sound barrier that low, can rupture eardrums

[aandc2005]

no only a 1/4 of what it can do!!

[farxfromxyou]

only half the top speed??? i soo wanna fly one of those! I just watched the great atlanta air show this weekend... these planes (and their pilots) are the best.
