I've been on a flight to HK's old airport, one of the coolest aproaches ever!
Standing in the one carpark at Heathrow is pretty cool for 747s "buzzing" you. Then 5seconds later you get the downdraft

Half the fun of going to HK is gone now that they don't use Kai Tek anymore
The F14 isn't quite supersonic there.
This one is though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-3i_k065Ls
Oh, and here's a real sonic boom, not a ***** little bang like small fighters make

Like this next shot as well - for a nation full of Health and Safety culture they sure do know how to do this sort of thing properly

I used to take the VC10 into Kai Tak quite often and the northerly sea approach was an easy one. The checkerboard approach was much more fun, but much better to complete the final turn a lot earlier that the 747 pilot. He must have got fixated on the checkerboard. There is a racetrack on the final approach which was always the best signal to turn towards the runway.

Those Thrusst SSC ones are fantastic. I've got the videos of all the runs in high def (well not real high def but full size high quality) on a few CDs somewhere, will have to dig them out. Got a scale model signed by Wing Cdr Green and Richard Noble too

It's hardly going to be a "shock" to them.
If it's a photchop then it's a good one, but it came from a website of plane geeks, where all the photochop pics are clearly labelled - and this wasn't labelled as so.
I think the distance is the confusing part. It looks like it's just about to touch the carrier - but an F-14 is a big plane, and probably a little further away than it looks. Also you can see from the angle that it is ascending, and from the vortices that it is pulling a positive G turn - ie it's turning to fly over the flight deck, not into it

Nothing beats a jet burning up the ether at zero feet over your napper.
Tornados were cool as ****. We would se them go past fractionally before the sound wave rattled your knackers, deep joy

Yes, we do have audio and hearing
