Subsonic Limits
At the Air Show in Gatineau Québec today, a Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning dazzled the crowd with a display of raw power and agility. The $80M stealth multirole fighter is a candidate for replacement of Canada's ageing fleet of CF-18 Hornets, which have been in service since the early 80's.
The pilot seemed to be pushing the allowable speed limits, getting very close to breaking the sound barrier.
