The white trails left behind jets are caused by tiny water droplets condensing on the wings, and then forming ice crystals(or something like that. can’t remember the exact explanation)
basically, what happened here is that someone was in the right angle to see the sun’s rays refracting off the ice crystals and forming a rainboy.
I totally want a stealth flail. I’d hide it in my backpack, and whack people with it when they anger me. I’d quickly put it away, and nobody would have seen it long enough for them to realize I was carrying a deadly weapon with me. It’s like being a ninja. With a flail.
Yes it is… Fighter jets are one of the few objects that can travel faster than the speed of sound… When this happens the sounds waves colide with eachother making a *pop* sounds… What your actually seeing is the compression of sound waves…
I’m not geek but I have a family member whos an aerial engineer and told me about this lol…
That happens when people over edit airplane/airshow photos in photoshop. The vapor acts weird when the levels are adjusted. And f-22′s throw off a tonnnnnn of vapor. The shot was probably pretty overexposed with a great difference between the sky and the plane, and he tried to recover it, and this happened. Not a raptor win, but a photoshop/photography newbie fail.
Umm. No, actually. This is actually crazy epic win. The vapor trail coming off of the plane happens to have the correct sized ice particles to create some cloud iridescence. Or, depending on what altitude the plane was flying at, the cloud may have more nacreous attributes. Go here for more information. http://atoptics.co.uk/highsky/nacr1.htm
Indeed, knowledge fail. It’s plane (pun intended) old iridescence (intense sun shining through very fine vapour drops, giving rainbow-like colors due to diffraction).

When fighter planes pull hard maneuvers, the air around their wings “vaporizes”, or becomes tiny droplets of water for a short period of time. What you see is the same kind of effect you’d see when the sun’s rays are broken up in the prism-like droplets of a lawn sprinkler during the day. Most planes cannot maneuver half as well as the F-22 can, so they don’t produce nearly as much water vapor as this can.
“What you see is the same kind of effect you’d see when the sun’s rays are broken up in the prism-like droplets of a lawn sprinkler during the day.”
Not quite right. The colors are due to diffraction (interference of lightwaves due to the tiny drops), not refraction (dispersion of color like a prism does).
What you see is similar to what you see here: http://www.atoptics. co.uk/droplets/corim1.htm
This just in: American government looks for alternate fuel: uses rainbows.
On an unrelated note, twelve unicorns have been found to be slaughtered in a national reserve. They appear to have been bludgeoned with a crystalline object, and a mangled tape of Always was found in the vicinity.
ZOMG DOUBLE RAINBOW!
OMFG YOU STOLE MY THOUGHTS
What does this MEAN?!
It’s so INTENSE!
IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL
Pointy Rainbow! All the way, across the sky!
What does it mean?
It’s starting to look like a TRIPLE
pointy rainbow
(And failblog post comment fail!)
This F-22 is what separated the rainbow. Almost to triple.
wrong.

basically, what happened here is that someone was in the right angle to see the sun’s rays refracting off the ice crystals and forming a rainboy.
Plus, probably taken through a polarising filter, hence the very saturated blue sky.
Neat shot!
You can FEEEEL our periods syncing up!!!!
Yu are lubky cuz i ccant
it means that you’re effed, in the most awesome way possible
Darn, you beat me to it.

Does this meet the qualifications for a double rainbow?
Stealth flail
Spelling fail…
troll sensing fail
MrCarlraycan did not sense the stealth flail
I totally want a stealth flail. I’d hide it in my backpack, and whack people with it when they anger me. I’d quickly put it away, and nobody would have seen it long enough for them to realize I was carrying a deadly weapon with me. It’s like being a ninja. With a flail.
Okay, this reply seriously cracked me up.
reply wlin
Also, name choice win as well. MSPA FTW.
John Egbert is PERMANENTLY banned from the unfunny club
Hmph!
Double rainbow ‘cross the skyyyyyy.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN???
Sparkling F-22????
Guess it’s a twilight version…
if is that case, Mr. Ahmadineyad you have permission to shoot down that airplane
AGREED
I wish he *did* try to shoot down that plane, so we could nuke his ass to kingdom come.
Same goes with Kim Jong Il and Chavez
And it would be super-great when the Russians and Chinese sent a their nukes over to the US to join the party.
That is the baddest fking rainbow I’ve ever seen~
Whats bad about it? I think it’s pretty interesting in my opinion.
Bad as in awesome? Yeah, English really makes no sense…
Agreed.
You guys must be from canada, This rainbow is wicked!, or does that mean evil too you?
Once the failblog community has awoken from there slumber and found your comment, you shall be trolled *wicked laugh*
Not so much, really.
Nice sun conure pic!
I have 2 conures of my own
off topic end/
And it’s “their” slumber. For the record.
And, for the record, we’re not sleeping. Just ignoring.
*waves furiously*
Hi, Avis!!!!
Hi!!!!!
*waves back*
Pretty birdy!
Shouldn’t it be “its”, since there’s only one community?
Shu’up, i haven’t slept, it’s 7 am here!
umm no…it’s “it’s” as in the contraction it is
nvm, i thought you were replying to the message that you comment is replying to.
Interesting how This rates a capital whereas the proper noun canada does not. Also, too means as well or also,clownyfuk
im soooo confused 0-o
That’s just insane O.O
tell me about it! there’s an f22 flying over mah house right now for the airshow!
Robot F-22 Raptor Attack
Dash Dash Dash
None of them are fat either! Holy sh1t, welcome to retardsville.
Uhh is that supposed to happen?
Yes it is… Fighter jets are one of the few objects that can travel faster than the speed of sound… When this happens the sounds waves colide with eachother making a *pop* sounds… What your actually seeing is the compression of sound waves…
I’m not geek but I have a family member whos an aerial engineer and told me about this lol…
no comment (geek)
Failblog is dead.
Seriously, wtf is this?
Failblog is as dead as Digg. F’ this site!
It could be a F-35…
It’s a Raptor..
Thats what she said
2 engines = F22 awsomeness
1 engine = F35 yawwwwwn
Uh… *looks, counts* looks like two engines there to me, mate.
AN F-35 ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? what are you 5???
Raptor PAWNCH!
Hey! You got your whole name back!
Goddammit, Starscream, did you get a hippie sucked into your engines again?
lol
LMFAO! This made my day lolololololololololololololololololololol!~~
I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT

No.

Maybe so, but in my opinion that doesn’t stop the picture looking totally freaking awesome.
Agreed. However, appropriate website to post the picture fail.

What is this? I don’t even.
OH THE SUSPENSE!
photoshop fail’s existence is a fail on their parents’ behalf.
The “F” must stand for “Fabulous”
*grins*
I think you mean “Fab-u-lous!”
You hit the nail on the head!
head in the rainbow?
sounds good to me!
Lol PURE WIN.
Well Starscream, after 25 years, we finally get to see you come out of the closet. …just didn’t think you’d be that open about it.
Well, that explains why he was so jealous about Megatron
You know Starscream never takes anything little
it can’t be real?
*F-TW Raptor
Oooo sparklies!
Hey, you!!! Where’ve you been? Nice t’seeya!
So, did you get rid of your kids yet? Or is this how you stay sane?
Kids? Ummmm…. what kids?
DOUBLE MISSILE OH MY GOD
This F-22 is obviously RAPTOR JESUS!
the raptors both phalanges are rainbowed
So, it’s a gay Starscream? I knew he was more than meets the eye.
The most awesome aircraft on the planet. Since we (apparently) have to be equitable in military capability, the program is canceled.
Absolutely amazing aircraft. It’s fast like every other modern jet plane, yet it handles like a Fokker Triplane. It’s the Red Baron of jet fighters.
Eurofighter Typhoons are better
What has happened to Failblog?? If I want to see cool pictures then I will see them all first on reddit/pics. I come here for the fails. Wins are not fails! This isn’t Winblog! Get your straight people.
Straight people! Get your straight people here! $3 a piece or 2 for 5! Ga-run-teed 100% heterosexual.
what happened in this F-22??
none has the answer?
When fighter planes pull hard maneuvers, the air around their wings “vaporizes”, or becomes tiny droplets of water for a short period of time.

Most planes cannot maneuver half as well as the F-22 can, so they don’t produce nearly as much water vapor as this can.
YAYYY. Someone else who actually knows this isn’t photoshop and knows a thing or two about atmospheric optics
i know that but its hard type on Wii-internet
“What you see is the same kind of effect you’d see when the sun’s rays are broken up in the prism-like droplets of a lawn sprinkler during the day.”
Not quite right. The colors are due to diffraction (interference of lightwaves due to the tiny drops), not refraction (dispersion of color like a prism does).

and here: http://www.atoptics.co. uk/droplets/iridim31.htm
It spreads rainbows and freedom behind it, and flaming, laser-guided death in front.
Environment Fail
Defense of USA WIN!
People like you make me want to burn tires for no other reason than it would piss you off.
LOUD NOISES!!!!
this is so epic!!!
i almost think it could be dumping fuel and creating that effect were seeing… ive seen our f/a-18c hornets do similar from a distance…
With a marginal cost of $138 million per aircraft, I’d say that’s one expensive rainbow.
f-22′s are worth 267 millon (cause of stealthyness)
Hmm… That’s strange. I thought gays were only allowed in the navy. I guess even gay pilots can have pride.
If you didn’t get it, you failed.
I don’t really get the win /:
You fail.
“Um, you know, Bob, the policy is ‘don’t ask, don’t tell.’”
“I’m not TELLING, I’m saying it visually!”
“…”
“Loopholes for freedom!”
Double rainbow…or rainbows are no longer gay ? >_<
You got me there pal ..
It’s ki is OVER 9000!!!!!!
Awesome!!
They’re actually sundogs… I’m too lazy to read all of the posts to see if anyone posted that already.
LSD-JET FTW ^^
i’m sensing photoshop…
V SHAPED RAINBOW!
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
they seem to have broken the gay barrier.
I wish I shat rainbows
Try an all-Skittles diet.
Remember to presort them.
IRL schlieren is cool.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlieren
Why are the rainbows inside out?
Ooh, a military jet that defecates rainbows.
That was SO not coffee that I must have drunk this morning.
Hello Toby! Nice to see you working hard for the club!
so its farting a rainbow… waaaw…epic
Gay Plane Pride supports this plane. This is a WIN for equality amongst planes, a success for planes everywhere, and the future of living!
Great. When other countries are using them for suicide bombings, we’re making them gay. Only in America…
Did he DIE?
Wow, at least the enemy will have a beautiful rainbow to look at while they’re being killed.
whats a win about this?
I don’t get it?
Oh no, first the sprinklers, now this. I cant take it anymore, FU government
Thrust Vectoring Owns the Sky!
Double rainbow all the way across the sky! Wow wow oh my god its so intense yeah!
Its starting to look like a triple rainboooooow!!!!!
Starscream had shrooms
That’s got to be a pretty fast f-cking shutter speed on that camera.
And one lucky motherf-cker :p
R@1NB0WZZZ!!! THE WORLD BE ENDING!
The most advanced Fighter aircraft in the world… NOW WITH RAINBOWS!
This just in: American government looks for alternate fuel: uses rainbows.
On an unrelated note, twelve unicorns have been found to be slaughtered in a national reserve. They appear to have been bludgeoned with a crystalline object, and a mangled tape of Always was found in the vicinity.
It is truely unfortunate that this is too small for a desktop background. Does anyone know where there might be a larger version?
Note to self: When you see that rainbow, run. Run in the opposite direction and run like hell.
ITS SO PRETTY! … ok girly reaction out of my system… but seriously that’s so cool!
a unicorn got cought in the engine.
I guess this was the plane that was supposed to drop the gay-bomb
hahahahaahahah you made my day
yeah – da blue angels. aurite!
That Raptor is violating Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.
Cool pic, doesn’t belong on failblog.org. Failblog will post anything now, even the photos from my grandmothers emails.
Harmony Harmony, OH LOVE!
Ooohh… we’re tough. Our airplanes spew rainbows out of their asses.
Nothing spreads peace like a F22 Raptor.
looks like gundam GN particals
I wonder if that unburnt fuel smelled good… that can’t be healthy!
Double rainbow wake. Does this mean jets are gay?
Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows!!!!
Why does this look like it’s from a video game? I immediatley thought of Gmod for some reason.
OMG I WANT A PLANE THAT FARTS RAINBOWS!!!!! XD
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it looks more like a Raptor caught fire and someone got a lucky shot at it from underneath (of course).. or someone placed chickens in the afterburner
see, told you starscream was gay
Airpower!
Hear the rainbow, taste the rainbow…
Oh my god i’m coming …
Dumbass!
Calm down there, it’s just people who have a sense of humor joking around. Maybe you should go buy one at the personality store.
It’s like “USA, beautifully coming to kill you”
“Uhh, command, are you sure this cloaking device is working right?”
