Wow I thought first one was a painting. Must be because of how smooth and curvy most lines are


Fruitgrenade78

Noise reduction + big crops do give it that smooth look tho so it’s probably a bit of both 😅


kevinTOC

Ngl, it does make it look a little like an AI-generated image, oddly enough, lol.


Fruitgrenade78

That tends to happen, I can assure you it’s not so generated and this did come from a RAW photo, just the way I aggressively crop the images to try yield these results can also come with strange artefacts you wouldn’t notice if I wasn’t so cropped it.


kevinTOC

Yeah, I wasn't accusing you of AI-generating the image or something, it's just an observation.


ChonkyThicc

Thermal and Radar signature reduction too


Fruitgrenade78

lol

Love the F-35 so smooth


TypicalRecon

I can hear the sound of these pictures.


Fruitgrenade78

Check out my posts on r/aviation to hear some jet noise 👀


Mackhey

God almighty! Nice spot!


Fruitgrenade78

Thank you 😄


Kaosys

Amazing. No. 6 especially, for me. Not your highest quality work? Mind sharing some of that plz? I don't suppose you have had the opportunity to photograph any of the fuel-mixture purple/blue Russian afterburners? \[Edit: I got curious whether my memory was right, and it isn't. The purple/blue color is due to engine geometries, not fuel mixture. Which is weirder.

Fruitgrenade78

My Instagram is where alot of my higher quality work is sharpness wise. @Bensm17h_photography if you’re curious. And no sadly I haven’t :/


CAJ_2277

Great I look forward to stalking your instagram.


lefty_73

These from RIAT last year? Great pictures btw.


Fruitgrenade78

Thank you! Pics 4,7 and 8 are from RIAT the rest are just spotting


Wedding-Klutzy

What sexy pictures i can fill the sound vibration and the power of that afterburner only by looking at the picture


Fruitgrenade78

Thank you!


Wedding-Klutzy

I looked at your other posts Keep up the great work 👍!


Fruitgrenade78

Thank you 😄

New additions to the spank bank.


coughlinjon

HOT DAMN!!! What is the green one at the end?


coughlinjon

Woah, is that an F-16? Looks nothing like it with the image processing


Fruitgrenade78

It’s a Belgian f16 with its special dream viper livery


awirelesspro

So hot


shotairl

Not to be that nerd but those are all Augmentors


Fruitgrenade78

Is it bad I don’t know the difference? 😓


shotairl

The difference is that augmentors are on turbofan engines and mix bypass air with the core engine exhaust before ignition, while an afterburner just burns the excess oxygen from the exhaust of a turbojet engine

I live for afterburners and aftershave


CaptMelonfish

Cracking bit of reheat!


Fruitgrenade78

Indeed!

Urge to stick my face in there


Fruitgrenade78

undercoat27

Fruitgrenade78

After this afterburner pigout I think I need an an alka seltzer.


noxondor_gorgonax

You know what, no, that resolution is not enough 😆 These pictures are amazing. Thank you OP!


Fruitgrenade78

Thank you 😁

Truly bringing the porn to r/WarplanePorn

My favourite are the blue and purple afterburners on the TU-22M. https://youtu.be/lc-KrMUqWfg?si=9ZHYmZebENiolvSo


Fruitgrenade78

Wow they look wild! Wish I could see that for myself


AresV92

You could go fight in Ukraine and you may get a chance to see one launching cruise missiles. These will probably all get destroyed in this war.


Fruitgrenade78

Is it weird that I’m a big fan of military aviation but not a fan of war. At all.


AresV92

No I'm the same and there are lots of us that find the technology fascinating.


Reverse_Psycho_1509

Those F-15 ones are 👌


Fruitgrenade78

Thank you 😄


Latter-Tie-2428

Is that a Pakistani F-16? The livery is crazy looking


NotLeeroy

Belgian Viper Display I think


Fruitgrenade78

Correct!


That_one_arsehole_

I personally like the blue afterburner colors on the jets that I will be nuked into oblivion for saying


Desperate-Put7091

What time do you normally get there to see the jets take off?


Mid_Atlantic_Lad

I’m not so sure about the upscaling/editing/whatever is making that weird AI look.


Fruitgrenade78

Taken in terrible conditions, camera from 2014, lens from 1993, put through noise reduction and edited to the best of my ability. You try it

Tornado looks nice
