163750

Aircraft:
McDonnell Douglas F/A-18C Hornet
Reg: 163750 photos
Serial #:
825/C108
Airline: United States - US Navy (USN)
Photo Date: Aug 07, 2010
Uploaded: Aug 21, 2010
Point Mugu NAWS Airport - KNTD, USA - California

Notes:

Not the vapor fest that we had in '07, but this F/A-18C did its best to show us that Prandtl–Glauert singularity, or vapor cone as some would call it. Interesting effects as well can be seen on the tops of both cones: rainbow coloured refractions, caused by the angle of the cone to the sun...not often seen.
