I watched a dvd of the Clint Eastwood movie yesterday-I've seen it
before-bit of a slow movie but the Mig flying effects were cool.

Anyway, over the northen ocean above Russia when Clint was bearing
down on the Russian missile crusier he got it up to Mach 2.8 to Mach 3
about 50 feet above the water. The effect was a twin water plume that
followed the jet exhausts.

Would you get the same effect in the real world if a fighter plane
went that fast that low over water?


Yes, this effect exists in the real world. Some time ago I searched the Net
looking for some spectacular pictures. I found picture of low flying F-14
ripping two craters out of sea. Unfortunately I don't have URL handy. It
could be Peter Steehouver's page (www.steehouver.com) but I am not sure.

Firefox)
