The jets? That's the only orange.
You're probably being sarcastic
I don't think I'm seeing what you're seeing in that image.
I'm pretty sure it's and f-14 launching off of a carrier, but the image is zoomed in so you only see a tiny portion of the deck obscured by the smoke. The orange glow is the jets on the back, and it's taken at an angle which makes the tail fins stick out weirdly.
Hmm okay, I see. I still think it looks weird but at least I get what you're saying now.
The tail fins also move, and would be angled for takeoff
It's possibly an f/a-18, the tail looks like a V and the engines are closer together like in the picture.
