You should be under it one time the Tyco Airshow I made it one year and was going to pay and go inside till I seen a bunch of people parked off the road at the end of the runway and joined them.

I walked down closer to the center and I was late for the good parking and started talking to a few guys and drinking beer and they told me this was the place to be with the way the wind was.

So everyone was making low passes on us and then the F-14 that was doing the final flight of the day was yanking an banking right over us to turn around the last pass he took it up to 4 thousand and kicked it over and headed for the ground fast for a high speed finish and pulled out of it at 30 foot above us and we could see him plain and day as he leveled out and I swear he had to had a big grin because he had to know he was getting ready to rock our world.

So when he came over the pressures and sound were so loud and about sucked the air out of your lungs, but all of us started yelling and cheering , that was cool as hell and we got a better show than the paying customers, but then if he had misjudged the pull out, we could have been a smoking hole at the end to the run way.

I dont know planes but I am going to school for engineering. I think what is happening is the pressure drop below the jet is making the water "superboil." I just made the word up. The water is being pulled up from the surface and being vaporized. That is what I believe to be happening.

#1 looks like a fa-18 hornet then when it gets off the water almost like a f-16 the wave is covering him up but it is a blue angel for sure its blue with the yellow on top
