Re: Todays Trivia ?
That is the US Navy's F4 "Black Bunny" Playboy Phantom breaking the sound barrier. In 1971, it was legal to fly the speed of sound over the continental US (at least they did on the Air Force base I lived on).

Re: Todays Trivia ?
That's gotta be photoshopped..750 mph thirty feet off the deck at a civilian airport? Is that a COPO Biscayne wagon about to lose it's date coded glass?

Very cool shot! . Wouldn't that hurt if you were on the ground and enveloped in the boom? . Hey....another '70 Townsman wagon! ~ Pete

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