Yeh looks a bit like Donnington. Could have been the 1993 European GP.

Isn't it about not wanting to land on a ship with loads of fuel on in case of an accident?

Edit to add only when they are worried about the landing.

Its a B-52 mate, and no way could it ever brake the speed of sound

looks cool tho.

And from memory there has only ever been one true pic taken of a sonic boom made from a plane. think it was the f-18 super hornet.

No mate. There's lots of sonic boom photos. Any aircraft capable of breaking the sound barrier will have them somewhere. I have a vid of an F-14 sonic boom.
Btw, did you know that the Typhoon is the only aircraft capable of breaking the speed of sound WITHOUT the need for the afterburner ! That's freakin quick !!!

Some great pics, shame there so many photoshops tho, about half of em TBH.

Long shutter speeds etc like the F111 one etc is just cool photography, but so many more are just ordinary pics made to look awesome with photoshop
