Check out this video recording of Blue Angel # 5 shot last workweek atFleet Weekin San Francisco . It ’s a Boeing F / A-18 Hornet jet plane aircraft flying about 25 feet above the surface of the water , and creating what ’s called a Prandtl - Glauert condensation swarm .

In this case , he ’s in all probability not go bad that fast , and kick up some vapour from the water . But it search nerveless nonetheless . And video shooters , check out how much faster the jet is likely going when the videographer lets the aircraft fly into the frame and then quickly start panning along with it . outstanding .
