 * Reason:I think the image can try its luck: unlike many others, it features the beginning (most likely) of the decoy flare release. Probably because the photo was taken during a total solar eclipse, the aircraft has eye-catching colors.
 * Articles in which this image appears:Flare (countermeasure)
 * FP category for this image:Vehicles/Air
 * Creator:Chad Warren

 * Support The image isn't amazing quality, but it doesn't get much cooler than a fighter jet firing a rocket during an eclipse! Aaadddaaammm (talk) 12:40, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * just a tiny point hence tiny writing - it's a flare he's firing not a rocket... just fyi... gaz hiley .co.uk  01:50, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose The flare looks like a light being shone on the belly of the F-15, so this photo has very limited EV. Nick-D (talk) 09:17, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Nick-D. It's a good picture, but I think a photo showing the flare clearly separated from the plane would have higher EV. --KFP (contact | edits) 17:05, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
