Very informative Pete.

If you look very closely, you can just see such a pressure shock wave building in front of my MKI Acme Speedster mobility scooter en route to the Mall last week...

Great video, Pete. Interesting fact re. shock waves, they will leave a shadow even when there is no moisture. I clearly remember chasing an aggressor 1-200' over a dry lake bed at Nellis AFB Las Vegas (very flat and white) in bright sunshine. I was above the Mach, and I noticed my shadow on the lake bed with perfect "Schlieren Photography" like shadows of the shock waves bending off the nose, behind the tail and off the top of the canopy. It was really very neat. I almost forgot about chasing the bad guy for a second )
