what a painting ! no?....
Heh. Great painting.
I had the unique honor of having my CG Cutter buzzed by a pair of F-14's moving supersonic somewhere off the coast of San Diego some years ago. It was magnificent.
I'll never forget it. They came at us at pretty much wavetop level. They were tight together and both had to tip up slightly about a half mile out just to clear our antennas in time.
I know they were supersonic. That part is impossible to miss.
The whole thing only lasted seconds. The lookout spotted them just in time shout down the voicetube "Aircraft appro..." BAM BAM. ...and they were gone. I remember feeling grateful that they were on our side.
