Ok folks, for all of you who have never personally seen the sound barrier, feast your eyes on the pictures.

Actual photos of the sound barrier

This phenomenon only happens at the instant an
Aircraft breaks the sound barrier

And it literally appears like the aircraft goes through a wall.

I hope you find these pictures as fascinating as I did.

The kids would bring in pictures of their family members who were in the military and they'd be displayed on the walls on the gym (where the program was)
Makes me so very proud to be an American and be married to a Retired Vet.
