P-51 do you have any pics of them breaking the sound barrier?

They can't break the sound barrier at airshows... save for Edwards AFB airshow, but that's at 30,000 feet and well out of visual range unless you have a telescope.

Great photographs, but that's not the first public Raptor demo
I saw one fly at the Edwards AFB airshow back in 1998, and it was an early production version

That was a demo fly-by flight... this was the first ever TAC demo. They just formed the 'official' F-22 demo team earlier this year.

Thanks for the clarification. There was a picture of an F-22 at that same airshow in my local paper today as well

That's very cool Britt. One of my favorite aviation pictures of all time is the one of an F-18 Hornet just at the point of breaking the sound barrier. Keep taking those awesome pictures. All of us here
appreciate them very much.
