The F/A-18F Super Hornet flew high speed passes that generated massive vapor clouds. Sunday at the California International Airshow(CIAS) the air's moisture content was near maximum as the marine layer hovered just north of the show. As the day progressed, the airshow shifted from blue sky to low clouds. Most performers performed low shows as the weather deteriorated. The Super Hornet did the low show and really wowed the crowd with constant vapor clouds surrounding the aircraft.

The F-18F Super Hornet nears the speed of sound with a tremendous condensation cloud forming around the shockwave. Photo was taken at the 2008 Pacific Coast Air Museum Air Show "Wings Over Wine Country".

This Blue Angel solo was into the turn at max G's! Note the football shaped vortex developing behind the antenna blade. Right after shooting this frame, I was just about blown over. It was awesome!
