Something you may not see in a lifetime
Shot
from the USS HONOLULU
(Los Angeles-class fast attack submarine)
at the Arctic Circle, 280 miles from the North
Pole.

Every so often, just the right combination of conditions and events occur to
create an unbelievable event-in this case an F-18 passing through the sound
barrier. Not only were the water vapor, density and temperature just right, but
there just happened to be a camera in the vicinity to capture the moment. The
F-18 is actually in transonic flight, with normal shock waves emanating from
behind the canopy and across the wings and fuselage. The condition will last for
only an instant, and once supersonic flow exists completely around the aircraft,
sharp-angled sonic cones replace the normal shock waves. The odds of getting a
shot like this are staggering.
