Found this on another website; really interesting photo.

Here's an F-22 Raptor pulling so many Gs that the low pressure air over the fuselage gets cold enough for the water to condense. The angle is just right for sunlight to make rainbow colors around the airplane. Raptors in air shows, but have never seen this display ! WOW !!

Neat photo, but I believe it’s ice crystals, and not just condensed water.

When I visited Top Gun, when it was still at Miramar NAS, I saw a Tomcat do that just a couple hundred feet or so off the deck. Not that much vapor, though, and no rainbow. But still impressive.

Too bad the Raptor is so maintenance intensive.
