Description
The clouds on the wings are from transonic effects, the pilot couldn't break the sound barrier because of regulations but it would have been fun.

The need for speed... excellent photograph! Bet it was real LOUD!
Out at sea they don't have that restriction. If you know somebody in the Navy, try getting on a tiger cruise. The F-18s don't have as much kick as the F-14s did, but it's still something to see if you haven't experienced it before.
Perfect. I love it. 5+.
