Approximately Mach 0.98 or so. The air around him is screaming for mercy!

Sweet. How do you know the mach number?

On this particular pass, known as "the sneaks" the solos burn up on the crowd from the left and behind while they're busy watching the diamond to the right. They're pushing the sound barrier as much as they possibly can without breaking it (which the FAA no longer allows. Thirty years ago, they just went ahead and broke it.)
Let's put it this way. Although the aircraft is in full Afterburner, you really don't hear the aircraft until after it's passed, meaning that the sound isn't going much faster than the actual aircraft.

Scary. Absolutely scary when they do that. After you see it once, you get super-paranoid everytime you see them again.

Love it. Absolutely love it... :airborne:

That is so nice. It's just too bad that hearing F-18s day after day kinda makes me not like them.
