Supersonic F-16 - a Viper breaking the sound barrier. The pressure waves cause instantaneous condensation of the humid air. This phenomenon only occurs when the conditions (humidity, air pressure, temperature, etc) are just right. [unknown photographer]

This is a GD F-16A Fighting Falcon from Royal Norwegian Air Force. Picture taken at ENVA/Trondheim Værnes Airport in Trondheim, Norway.

An aircraft does not need to be at supersonic speeds to cause this effect. It can be achieved at near super sonic speeds at low altitude in the right weather conditions. This F-16 looks to be an early block aircraft (1,5 or 10)and has the drogue parachute. Cool shot.
