I found a photo on the web which was described as a photo of a B-52
breaking the sound barrier. I do not believe this plane can do such a
thing in a positive manner. Is the photo genuine?
This keeps showing up for various aircraft by people who have never seen a true
sound barrier shock wave. Even if this pic wasn't faked it only shows a vapor
wave with a B-52 due to compression at moderate speed and high humidity.
