http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/picturesoftheday/7986406/Pictures-of-the-day-7-September-2010.html?image=2

Keen plane spotter Bernardo Malfitano took this shot of a rainbow effect pouring off the back of an F-22 at an air show in Miramar, California. The aeronautical engineer from Seattle works for Boeing, and he said: “This is an F-22 at Miramar at the top of a loop. He is pulling so many Gs, the low pressure air over the fuselage that is sucking the plane into the loop gets cold enough for the water vapour to condense. The angle is just right for sunlight to undergo total internal refraction and make rainbow colours around the plane”.
