F-35 Lightning Vapes

During the performance by the F-35 Lightning Demo Team, the pilot was pushing the plane to its limits in an effort to demonstrate the versatility of this stealth tactical fighter. Ground-to-air requires good panning and truthfully, a bit of luck to capture the shot. Panning right to left while handholding my long lens, I acquired focus a while the F-35 was inbound and once focused in the viewer I depressed the shutter set to high speed continuous. I was fortunate enough to get the vapes off the plane fuselage and wings as the pilot accelerated to just under the Mach one.
