I think you'll find thats water being spun off of the prop tips.

Nice shots love the Mirage and the China Eastern reverse thrust clearing the water off the runway.

Nice, 3 Of the guys that work with me here in Egypt are from Malta....Do you know a Sammut, Cassar, or Magro? Figured you might because it is such a tiny country :-)

I joked with them saying that malta now has an Airforce because they have 2 jets and a few Helis haha.
