If you like "vapor clouds" heres one for you.

This one has more to do with humidity and angle of attack but still cool.

Here's a link to a clip of a jet breaking the sound barrier over the ocean with the same effect. Pretty cool clip.

I just looked at the clip a couple more times. . Does the plane do a bit of a dip as it comes through the barrier on the close up....or is it the camera guy moving? ~ Pete

I thought I noticed a bit of a dip too. Doing that type of run over the water that low, he my have run into cooler, more dense pockets of air.

Once I went to Edwards Air Force Base for the air show and got to see and hear Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier. The boom was one thing but seeing the shock wave hitting the high clouds was something I'll never forget. It was amazing to have such a hugh crowd of people so quite to listen for the boom and then to hear them gasp at the sight. I think I said something like "oh my God!".
