That water injection is really a cool idea.
I learned about that from a KC-135 (Air Force tanker - looks like a 707) pilot. She told me they user the water injection during takeoff for extra power and it creates an ugly black exhaust. That is why you see the black exhaust coming out of some older jets from back in the 50s and 60s. I don't think they do it anymore.
