    Absolutely, thanks a lot! Some awesome shots in there!!

    I love the picture of the F-22 in a right bank -- that's over Fort Monroe, not far from where I live. Every once and a while, you can catch the F-22s doing their thing over at Langley, and it's always sweet when Norfolk Approach gives you a traffic advisory and it's simply, "Raptors, X O'clock" :)

    Last picture is interesting. I didn't know F-14's have the capability to land on water.

    Yes, the actual shockwave produced by low flying F-14 over the water is impressive, but not that kind of plowing effect.
    Here is a youtube video that shows an actual shockwave:

    And here are some F-18 Blue Angels low passes in S.F. Bay, some getting low enough to affect the water surface.
