You have a calendar photo....Well Done and best of the week.

Yeah.

Great shot!

Thats a once in a lifetime photo Fantastic!!!

There have been some really great photos here before, but this is one of the very best. SUPER!!!

Love the photo!
unlike many of the folks who comment, i really don't know much about flying. Would someone have a link to something that explains what causes the vapor to appear like that? Is it when the plane reaches some critical velocity?

Magic capture Ed, well done

Rookie question here. Is effective just humidity being turbo blended? Or have we broken the sound barrier? Btw isn’t thal also referred as Mach 1.
Ridicule if humorous accepted!

I could gaze upon this admiringly for hours-what a beautiful shot of my favorite phenomenon. Just beautiful!
