Watched a C172 do a go around at Merrill Field, Alaska last week. It was humid and around -5C. As he pulled up, the airplane started to make two strong contrails from the edge of the flaps that remained in place for 5 minutes or longer, from the point of the go around almost to the downwind. Looked real cool.
So you don't need to be high or fly a big airplane...
