Sonic booms and condensation clouds March 13, 2009

Posted by David Cenciotti in : Aviation , trackback

Pictures taken at Axalp arise more or less the same question. People wants to know if the condensation clouds surrounding the aircraft represent some kind of visual manifestation of the “sonic boom” or some other phenomenon tied to the flight at transonic speeds…

About me

My name is David Cenciotti and I was born in Rome in 1975. I'm a private pilot, a former 2nd Lt. of the Aeronautica Militare (Italian Air Force, ItAF), a journalist and graduate in Computer Engineering (I'm a Project Manager with many professional certifications in the Information Security field). I've been writing since 1996 for major aviation magazines such as Air Forces Monthly, Revista Força Aérea, Fighter Tactics. In Italy, after working for Aeronautica & Difesa and Airline for many years, I write exclusively for: RID, the most important Defense magazine, Rivista Aeronautica, the magazine of the ItAF, and Airplanes, the magazine of the the Italian airshows. Find out where to read my latest articles and reports published monthly on magazines all around the world here: http://cencio4.wordpress.com/newsstand/ As an expert in aviation, I was interviewed by newspapers, televisions and radios and I write also some of the texts of the documentaries of the Troupe Azzurra, the ItAF "combat camera" team. I also contribute to many web magazines, portals and forums. My pictures have been used not only to illustrate my articles, but also for magazine's front covers, squadron and air forces' calendars, websites, brochures and books. During my career as a journalist, I have had the opportunity to fly with many aircraft: from supersonic fighters, large transport planes, combat and rescue helicopters and I'm one of the few civilians proudly wearing the “1 flight hour on the TF-104” patch to witness my flight with the Starfighter back in Y2000. I'm the author of "F-104 Storia di un mito", the only official book published by the Italian Air Force to celebrate the retirement of the Starfighter in 2004. This weblog is a place to talk about aviation, flying, defence, Information Security, photography and much more.
