Not really, but just look at what this jet does    captured at 500 frames per second.

 

[Rusted]

That is quite some image scale!

[tooth_dr]

That is unreal 

[maw lod qan]

That's cool. You couldn't have timed your viewing better!

That’s amazing! Great to see the effects even around the nose of the plane, I guess where the air is being compressed around the fuselage. Incredible video.

Wow😮. If you have a social media a/c you should put that GIF on it. (If there was a way of finding out which airline that was too!)

FlightRadar24 should be able to give you such flight details....

Pretty neat,  found it.   https://fr24.com/2021-06-04/22:43/12x/RPA3565/27f0f776

thanks for that!

[TakMan]

Super, glad it was of use!

Great image by the way...

Great video indeed!

It seems to be the case. It's happening mostly in front of the nose and engine nacelles, not so much at the leading edges of the wings (which by design let the air go around them).

I found some plots of air's index of refraction depending on pressure here. As you can see, the change is a very small fraction, BUT apparently when imaging a tiny FOV, like we do with the Sun, it's sufficient.
