it doesn't break sound barrier... loser

[Ultim8Aggie]

Love the name.....is that the sound you make when someones dick is in the back of your throat?

[kia419]

whats an aggie?

[Ultim8Aggie]

Someone who went to or graduated from Texas A&M University. Or any of the A&M universities come to think of it.

[Infidelnumber77]

An aggie is actually the devil incarnate. jk lol Hook' EM!

[Ultim8Aggie]

LOL, nice one. By the way - how do you get a University of Texas graduate off of your doorstep?

Pay for the pizza.

[ugowar]

Yeah, what does he think why can't he hear the plane until the shockwave reaches him? And the water surface being disturbed by the shockwave is KIND OF a dead giveaway.

It's amazing how many people have absolutely no clue what "breaking the sound barrier" really means.

[dkrustyklown]

The difference is in the degree of drunkenness.

That is all.

@Ultim8Aggie If you go to Florida A&M, you aren't an aggie. You're a rattler. I guess technically you could be called an aggie, but nobody says that anymore unless it's your mascot lol. Besides, most people who go to FAMU don't study agriculture anymore. I'm sure it's the same way at TAMU. Sweet video btw! The 14 was one of my favs, but they retired it and I ended up working 15s lol.

@GuitarLover83

very amazing but sadly no where near supersonic. The ripples on the water are ground effect. Mach is roughly 660 knots at sea level depending on the pressure, or 760 mph, that tomcat is moving between 450 and 500 knots, the sound of the plane is arriving just before the plane. The sound and over pressure from a supersonic fly by is awesome and not easily forgotten. Every flyby is cool. Nice video

[Back7sword]

Sounds over mach 1 to me. looks it too :) Perhaps its just the mic on the camcorder.

How nice it would be to see a swing wing stealth jet reminiscent of the tomcat one day

[karlrob76]

"almost" ?

you fail, subby.

[molinobeer]

i know, better than you..

[Zerglinghunter]

there is nothing cooler than a Tomcat screaming past that low and that close, although it was more of a relief overseas

[cambruda]

i gave up on trying to explain to stupid people whether the barrier was broken or not >=/ it gets quite agravating

[acdcgreat]

Or one could argue that his research was sped up by the war, because he had a considerably larger budget..

[acdcgreat]

Ummmm tgrules565 I think you are still not getting the point, What NAVY would the Chinese people come in??? I mean what boats will they come in?? Cruise Ships??? Why don't you think something over before trying to sound educated because we all know that you are an inept dumbass.
