With afterburners producing maximum thrust, Blue Angels lead solo pilot Lt. Cmdr. Julius Bratton performs a minimum-radius turn in his F/A-18E Super Hornet fighter jet as he and the rest of the Blue Angels practiced their routine at Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu in California on March 16 ahead of the Point Mugu Air Show. High speed and high humidity in the air caused water vapor to condense over the jet’s wings where the air pressure was lower. (U.S. Navy photo by Eric Parsons/Released)
