 Navy F/A-18 breaks the sound barrier

https://x.com/MargoMartin47/status/1974991229042786607

I could have sworn that the F/A-18 was already capable of doing that before.  I must have misread an article when trying to learn about jets when I was on ATS  trying to find a bearing on responding to some thread there.  Maybe I should turn the computer off and go to bed before midnight.  Our internet is so slow tonight I couldn't even get the x links to open.  It hasn't even rained and it is slow.  Maybe a deer kicked that broken AT&T connection pole sticking out of the ground that has the old fiberglass parts leaning against it yet from when the county weed wacker knocked it apart a while back and messed up the connections.

nah its just the introduction of the video of an F-18 breaking the sound barrier 

not a declaration that this was the first time an F-18 broke the sound barrier...

 Off the coast of Pusan, South Korea: An F/A-18 Hornet assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron One Five One (VFA-151) breaks the sound barrier in the skies over the Pacific Ocean. VFA-151 is deployed aboard USS Constellation (CVN 64). This is an edited version (reduced grain).

That looks like the picture I saw when I researched it back a few years ago on ATS.
