    Jet taking off with catapult system on an aircraft carrier, the CATOBAR system is steam powered if I’m not mistaken.

      I’ve watched a CATOBAR video to see what you’re talking about (interesting stuff btw), but isn’t that unrelated? In this image there is no aircraft carrier, the wings are angled 45° upwards, and there are weird orange spots on the hull.

            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.
