I'd say it looks exactly like an RAF Harrier

How could you forget about a great shot like that!

I agree with Steve about the image being a tad washed out by overexposure, but there is lots of detail which can be dug out of your image too........the dark shadows can be lightened to bring forward the underside and show more..........this isn't nit-picking, but my attempt here is only to be constructive.......

........if you take what you started with in the camera, and manipulate it just a little, you'll see that there is more latent image to show off a fine shot (selected brightness and contrast, minor level shift, a touch of saturation for the sky area, and a pinch of sharpening overall).......the nose down angle indicates to me that the transition from hover to forward flight has just started and the slight angle from full vertical to backwards on the thrust ducts also indicates the same thing......nice timing on this shot.........  

Also, whenever you do any manips to the image, do them on a full size copy of what you start with, and then the final step should be to reduce the file and image size to satisfy the forum requirements......
