Vapour streams from the Lockheed-Martin F-22A Raptor during it's demonstration routine at the Avalon Airshow. Note the thrust vectoring nozzles in action, with the afterburner plume in a different plane from the rest of the aircraft.
The F-22s at the 2013 Avalon Airshow came from the United States Air Force's 94th Fighter Squadron, 1st Operations Group normally based at Joint Base Langley–Eustis, Virginia
