The image speaks for itself, though Esguerra, on his website, explains in a little more detail his love of aviation photography:
“What has always captivated me about aviation is its raw power, its captivating beauty, and the wonderment it stirs within as those magnificent machines break the bonds of Earth. I see planes as a collection of paint strokes on the canvas that is the sky, doing things my ancestors never dreamed possible, and in ways that just boggle the mind.”

Magnifique photo ,mais une erreur il ne décolle pas mais atterri vue les aérofreins sont sortis et je doute qu’on sorte les aérofreins pour décoller.
Don’t believe this is a take off. From the proximity of the lights and the angle of the plane I’d guess it was really a landing.
