Big oops at an airshow...
Seems this F-15 accidentally slipped over the sound barrier:
The vapor trails make me think it is actually iffy if it did actually break it. It is right on it though. -S

There is no double tap. No sonic boom. So I'd just say this guy is really close!

Good vid, but not so much an oops. Quite a common occurrence at a Military airshow. The T-birds make it part of their act, as do the Angels. The "Vapor cone" can occur at speeds lower than the sound barrier and are not a visual display of an aircraft breaking the sound barrier...It's whats known as Prandtl-Glauert singularity, which has to to with air pressure response slightly below, or above the speed of sound. (Transonic)
Always a sight to behold, for sure....
