For a fighter that can supercruise to M1.7 and been in front line service since 2005 its suprising there is not more pics of it with trans sonic shock waves around it. Compared to the amount of F-14 and F-18 pics with same effect and the F-18 is pushed to get supersonic at low level apparently.

Cool pic, not as dramatic as the others going supersonic but I bet this is down to the efficient design of the '22.
