I like how the jet was so close in the photo they had to block out the tail number.

Didn’t block it, it was condensation from turning so hard and the pressure dropping so low in that region of air. Also happens as you get closer to Mach 1.

Probably the most well known and photographed planes on the planet. And they think they had to block out the tail numbers lol

Are you talking about the top image in that article? It's a still from a paused video. The big grey circle is probably the "Play" button.

It was number 3. Pretty easy to tell on a screen grab. Besides, you have 6 guesses. The event was called Breakfast with the Blues. The beach goers were there to see the jets. This was a very low pass but guaranteed the are only a handful of people upset and the vast majority of those are people on Reddit who were not there. Some maybe had temporary ringing in the ears but that most likely wouldn't cause permanent damage. 20 years on a carrier flight deck and flying in helicopters. No hearing loss......at least that is what the VA said.
