did you know that those vapors form when the craft nears the speed of sound? (that is if i remebered right)

*seewolf Sep 11, 2010 Hobbyist Photographer

this particular vapors form when aircraft turns and makes a large pressure deferential between the two sides of the wing. look at some pictures or video of any faster plane taking a sharp turn and you will see this vapors on the tips of the wings. because this plane has this wing design they form on the beginning of the wings.
and when plane reaches the speed of the sound there is another pressure differential between the front and the back of the plane, so you see a circular wave somewhere before the tale of the plane (usually).
