    Finally finished my favorite photo from deployment. Out in the middle of the ocean you actually get to break the sound barrier. At airshows you often see a vapor cone around the aircraft, reaching the transonic region, but not actually supersonic flight. What's great about this photo, is there is no vapor cone. Only the shock wave from the aircraft actually compressing the air around it. This photo is one of our jets hitting 1.05 mach at 200ft about a half mile from the ship. Shook the entire aircraft carrier. I kid you not.

    I agree with @MatthewMay1. You can't spam too much with float photos in my opinion. You're the only one in the thread that has the privilege to fly them anyways!

    Well, as long as you're okay with it. The last couple of days have been a so fun. Some good flying, a bit of fishing, some plinking with the .22, and blasting the shit out of some targets with the 20 gauge. It's stuff like this that gets me through a long winter on the Boeing. Keeps me going till the ice goes out next spring.

    Cheap spacers and blocks, 33's, poor man upgrades.
    Finally got my hands on the 800 Max tonight, nothing big. Just a post flight check, nice when they are new and clean. That won’t last long, good looking bird tho
