FA-18 Super Hornet Breaks Sound Barrier Over Crowd [VIDEO]
As the son of an aircraft mechanic I've always enjoyed airshows. Here's a video from a show held on a beach. An FA-18 Super Hornet buzzes the crowd creating condensation around the shock wave. Looks almost like the USS Enterprise warping in Star Trek.

I really doubt the sound barrier was broken but it is still a great example of the propagation of compression waves around the aircraft.
