How Fast is this F-16 Going?

Must be a really long distance lense on that camera as the FAA regulations changed years ago and the government won't let them go supersonic over the populated sections of the continental US anymore.



Picture I took last week ;)

Mosi i was right there and those pics are legit. Not sure if there were supersonic but they were damn close. I doubt they were more then a few hundred feet off the river and you could see the vapor flashing over like that. Great show they put on for sure and very close in. Somewhere there is a shot that makes the jet appear to be banking between two of the buildings there.
 
It affects the speed of sound and plays a part in what speed the boom occurs.




Thanks.......I would never have known the answer.


Looks like I'm in a pizzing contest with a newbie:lurk5:


YES DAVE.....I WAS THERE ALSO!!! I'll show you MY pics out at WoodTic.


OK ....Welcome to the site and congratulations on being able to take fantastic pictures. You have proved to me that you are the most genuine person that ever walked the face of an air race or show or whatever. Nice communicating with you.

BTW....I still call.....:icon_bs:

That's a chopper coming out from the time portal. If they do their job well going back in time, we'll end up owning all the oil again :sifone:
 
I ate at Taco bell today, hour later BOOM...had to go change, just threw em out...looked like I hit a deer, there was mist too... it was humid today, the sound hit my ears before the smell... carry on. :rofl:

So you were there and have some of the same shots?

ANd I sure as heck wouldn't call Dave a newbie. He's a founder and a Tech Expert.
 
My GF and I were at the Dayton Air Show last weekend. Although nothing beats the Blue Angles, we saw the Thunderbirds. Think I got a chubby!

My GF flies corporate jets for a living. I got her a hot tank top that says "remove before flight".

She sent me the following yesterday. We were talking about the mile high club....
