Val-Halla, a restored P51 Mustang, flying at the 2025 Abbotsford International Airshow. It was supposed to be taking part in the USAF Heritage Flyover alongside the F35 Lightning II but the F35 hand to land due to technical problems so Val-Halla flew on it's own while the RCAF Snowbirds prepared for their performance. Val-Halla was named for both it's pilots Bill Anders wife Valerie and for the Black Knights P51 squadron that was stationed at Keflavik, Iceland during the Cold War.

EAA AirVenture 2025 Air Show
This may be my most interesting photo of an aircraft I have ever taken.
Condensation trails, or contrails, generally form in two main ways.
The first occurs when hot exhaust gases from jet engines rapidly cool as they mix with the cold upper-atmosphere air. If the temperature drops below the dew point, water vapor in the exhaust condenses into visible ice crystals—this is the familiar type of contrail we often see trailing behind aircraft at high altitudes.
The second form of condensation occurs around the aircraft itself, particularly over the wings. As air flows over the wing surfaces, it accelerates and experiences a drop in pressure, which leads to adiabatic cooling. This cooling can also cause moisture in the air to condense, forming visible trails. In the case of supersonic jets, frictional heating can raise the air temperature significantly along the aircraft's surface. However, as this heated air rapidly mixes with cooler ambient air, it can cool just as quickly, again leading to condensation. These effects become especially pronounced when supersonic jets ascend steeply or fly vertically, intensifying both pressure-related cooling and mixing dynamics.
In this photograph the entire jet is engulfed in condensation as it accelerates vertically very rapidly in super saturated air.
I shot this last week at the EAA AirVenture air show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The show attracted more than 700,000 people during the week.
