F15-E Strike Eagle executes high G maneuver that condenses
out the moisture in the air. Beaufort MCAS, 2009 Air Show.
NOTE: since so many people have asked me, here is a further explanation for the
white shroud over the wings. In normal flight the bottom of the wing is a
high pressure surface while the top of the wing is low pressure: thus "lift" and
flight. However, in a sharp bank the top surface of the wing becomes pressurized,
and, in this case, when the relative humidity is very high, the dew point is
actually reached along the wing, thus the cloud. There was no "photoshopping" applied.
