Default Shockwave FA-18 AWESOME Picture

This has got to be one of the best pictures I have ever seen. A friend of a friend sent it to me. He took it last year at the San Francisco Bay Area Airshow. You have to view it super high res. The most well defined picture of a shockwave I have ever seen.

Mark,

Cool picture! What's interesting is that it's a sneak pass and the guys on the boat in the foreground aren't even looking...yet!
