Outstanding picture. It's very hard to catch the visible shock wave when jets go supersonic. It has to be a very humid day. As the jet approaches the speed of sound, it forms a shock wave just behind the leading edge of the wing. An instant low pressure area, and on hot, humid days, the moisture in the air will form a mist in this low pressure zone.
You should submit this picture to one of the Navy Aviation publications such as "Naval Aviation News", "Proceedings" (The Naval Academy magazine), or "Approach Magazine". Here is an interesting link. The site is called "Unuasual Aviation Picures". This link is to the military section. About halfway down the page is a picture of one of the Blue Angels doing a low pass over
San Francisco bay at almost the speed of sound. You can see the visible shock wave not only on the airplane, but hitting the water as well. http://www.aviationpics.de/military/1999/military.htm.

Artie, Yes this is an un-manipulated image. The grain is visble because even with a 600mm lens I could only fill about 15% of the frame.
Brendon the scan was done at 2700 DPI and 16x oversampled to get rid of noise which is the maximum I could do at the time. What you see is the dye cloud structure of the film.

Nice shot. Looks like it's coming out of a time warp or something of a science friction movie. A little grainy, but I think that is the humidity. I didn't fair any better with my B-1 bomber, I will post later.
