Tremendous photo (FREEZE FRAME) of FA-18 Hornet Breaking the Sound Barrier. 

 

The sonic boom associated in this instant adds thunder to the experience.

 

I used this photo in a blog post describing the differences between high-speed vehicles like the Space Shuttle, jets and speeding bullets.  Space Shuttle wins.
