Absolutely spectacular first-ever air-to-air images of supersonic jets' shockwaves interacting

Technically not a wind tunnel picture.

While NASA has previously used the schlieren photography technique to study shockwaves, the AirBOS 4 flights featured an upgraded version of the previous airborne schlieren systems, allowing researchers to capture three times the amount of data in the same amount of time.
