I suspect that if a jet broke the sound barrier that close to a bunch of boats, people would be deafened. There might also be criminal charges involved for the pilot.

So yeah, Photoshop is my guess.

right on. pic is a total farce.

DUDE THAT PLANE IS TOTALLY A DOLPHIN. And furthermore, if the water were moving backwards at an equal speed, it could still take off.

A pox on your geeky blaster, the power of IOtD is the glue holding the universe together.
The power that can not be challenged or destroyed.
Just questioning it, killed Albert Einstein.

Has to be photoshopped. That round plume as the planes passes usually denotes the aircraft has just broken the sound barrier. Those fisher dudes would be suing the Navy for causing deafness.

We've already established it can form at less that sound barrier speed.
