Not just those beginning with F, either.



A B-1 wearing a tutu.

Although this is primarily associated with approaching Mach 1, other aircraft do occasionally show similar traits according to the humidity, pressure, and temperature.





Aside from the Airbus, and one photo of a Mig, this seems to be very much an American thing? Yes, there are photos of the effects seen on these airliners on the world's other jets, but only the US ones seem to go for the full-on impressive cone.
