[SIZE="3"][COLOR="Blue"]Part 2... This was my one in a million shot. I can't tell you how many times I've tried to get it. It's nothing but pure luck, and this weekend I snagged two!

This airplane was just under the speed of sound. What you see is the beginning of the compression bubble that forms around the airplane just prior to breaking the sound barrier...

Fat Albert's flight box is so big that by the time it landed it was totally dark. You can actually note that it gets darker on each pass...
