Hi all, it’s my first post on here. I took this picture back in Feb at Nellis AFB. An F-16 took off and just as it started to pull up it fired flares (which ended up setting fire to plants) before it had even cleared the perimeter fence. It’s probably one of my favourite photos that I have taken so I thought it would be a good first post for here.

Instagram link didn’t seem to work so I’ll try Imgur.

Sorry, I can't see an image
Most people on FC use Flickr or Photobucket, I think

Given the context, a deliberate act or "oops I pressed the wrong button?"

I’d love to say it was a deliberate act for the camera being as I was the only person there with one haha but it was most likely a mistake.
