Seen that photo before, it is definately a real Blue Angel, and the best of my knowledge it is an actual photo, and the plane really got that low.

The reason he got that low is that he is probably taking off. Usually one solo will do a dirty roll on takeoff with the gear down. The other solo retracts the gear and stays a few feet off the ground building up speed for a maximum climbout.

sure got the gear up quick on a takeoff?

drop the tail hook to plow up the farm fields!

The gear was up a few thousand feet before that point.

Either way he had to be really moving because to create those Vapors on such a clear day would take some serious heating of the Air.

Also look carefully at the wing and see the Flex it's a bunch of Gs.

And flaps are in "takeoff" position. They do this at every show.

hit the after burners and de-ice the runway!!

PS: It's actually cooling the air in the low pressure area. Think of it as sucking the moisture out of the air.
