The old J57 turbines on the B52 aircraft loved humidity and water. Seemed to make the compression go from 10,000lbs of thrust to around 12,500lbs (per engine) when they injected water directly into the inlets of those engines during take-off. Unfortunately the aircraft only held 1200 gallons and would use that entire 1200 in the first few moments of take-off.

Too bad internal compression engines don't like hot humid weather!
