Shockwaves on an F18

Shockwaves on an F18

I like all of the shocks visible over the length of the aircraft. There is a single, uninterrupted shock over the pilots head and many interfering shocks at the wingtips. The work by both the pilot in the canyon and the photographer on the ground to make this photo possible is very impressive.
