Awesome photos! Brings back a lot of memories. They never should have
kicked the Navy out of Moffett, I did 8 years there. You can thank
dellums and feinstein for that! Why should the F-18 be of interest?
Nothing at all peculiar about it. The trails you see outta the
wingtips are nothing more than vapor trails (not to be confused with
contrails), or "vapes". Might seem weird to the FNG, just like the
first time you see an aircraft dumping fuel, but perfectly normal.
These "vapes" normally happen in areas with high humidity. The passage
of an aircraft surface condenses the air parcels into tiny water
droplets. (laymans terms, I'm not a scientist, or engineer)

I took a few aerial photos of this federal airfield. The FA18 photo
may be of interest to the group.
