Afterburners and Shock Diamonds

May 10, 2007 10:57 PM

By Will Glynn

I didn’t see this photo when I went through my air show collection the first time, but I think it’s safe to say that it has something to do with reviewing 800 some photos before this one. Whatever the reason, I’m glad I found it.

F-22 Raptor: Afterburners and Vapor Trails

    Shock diamonds are also what you get when you run your forehead into the back of a Cessna wing. That ribbed aileron construction leaves a nice little diamond hole waiting at forehead height for a moment of inattention. Hit it hard enough and you’ll draw a bloody diamond on your forehead.

    I like these shock diamonds better, they compare nicely with a photo I have of a Blackbird engine on the test stand with a 65 foot afterburner flame and diamonds.
