I've been an airline transport pilot flying jets for 35 years and I've never heard of the phenomenon of which the last two posters are speaking. Any supersonic pilots know what these guys are talking about?

Chris, I'm with you on this and I have 5000+ military hours in the book, most of it on jets. I think the guys referring to what we would call mach crit over the top of the wing as mach approaches 0.9+ (or much lower depending on wing design).
