No smoke, no mirrors The clouds you see rippling across the Raptor's silhouette aren't part of an elaborate magic trick, they are are the remnants of a vapor cone dispersing around the edges of the fighter. The F-22 is capable of flying at such incredible speeds that they create shockwaves, converting water vapor to liquid, resulting in the stunning visual you see here. 📍 Wildwood, New Jersey 📸 by Staff Sgt.
