An Eagle makes jelly

Sorry for all the plane pics. I’m slightly addicted.

This time out, we’re looking at an F-15C Eagle from the front quarter angle. Like last time, it’s just after takeoff, with the afterburners spewing flame and superheated air in their wake.

That roiled air, affectionately called “jelly”, is one of my favourite visuals when watching jets fly, because it’s tangible proof that something remarkable is happening. It also simply looks insane, which is always a plus.

I think that’s a pretty reasonable photographic goal: if it looks insane, or cool, or neat, then it’s worth shooting and sharing. If it makes us stop and sigh, or smile, or think, then it merits tripping the shutter.

Plane or no plane, I think this makes sense. To me, anyway.
