More plane clouds

<p>The caption, for some reason, underneath the pictures of the F-22 from the Desert News, states that the airplane is not supersonic.</p><p>I assure you that the F-22 is most certainly capable of speeds approaching mach 2. Also, the cloud-like condensation, also known as the Prandtl-Glauert Singularity, occurs as a jet reaches the sound barrier.</p><p>This makes the caption rather odd to me.</p>
