Yes, this is completely real. When conditions are right moisture builds up as the plane pushes through the air at high speed (approx. 500 mph here) causing vapor pockets to form. This shot was from an early morning practice session and there was still plenty of moisture in the air. This was very much a right place/right time capture.
