Unless that was slowed down for playback, that's not mach 1. Very cool still.

Btw, I highly doubt they'd go that fast that low. I'm pretty sure there's a floor beyond which they can't/willnot go that fast.

I heard they're running 400-450 when doing their low passes. Amazing downforce on the water, though... Thanks for posting!

I can't think that the salt water vapor is good for the plane?

Great photo

Hmmm, well I guess that would rule out carrier operation for all Navy jets then...

Don't think they fly as close to the water.

I don't know how fast they're going on those low passes but it's pretty darn fast! I was at a show once at the Alliance airfield north of here and right on the fence about 30 ft. from a taxiway. The 1-4 planes come by on a slow pass to get everyones attention and just after they pass here comes a solo ripping down the center of the taxiway 8 feet off the ground! He was going so fast you couldn't hear him until he blew past.
