I remember a video I found on the Internet (can't remember where...), where we could see a F14 flying supersonic (i remember sonic wave clouds) only a few feet away from the deck of the carrier. The video was damn real, it was some kind of airshow I think.

That's why I wouldn't be surprised If it was not fake. All the people on the deck seem to be all looking at the same thing, with a cameraman pointing its object towards the plane....

As far as the ground crew is concerned, these are not trannies, they are used to that kind of HOT sensations !

However, it is damn close to the deck...
