Thanks all for the comments and votes including Inspector Grog :) The plane had just taken off (as you can see by the nose wheel bays still closing) and going like a bat out of hell. Very difficult to shoot sharply with a 500mm f/6.3 (effective 750mm on a 1.5x crop factor DX)
Here is another shot of it about 60 seconds later and traveling even faster.
Is it a toy plane indeed! You're right to question it, as in photography anything is possible...
Makes perfect sense to me. The subject of the SAAB Gripen, and the light on it looks familiar to me, so I am guessing this is an entry from Magnum_za. Sky looks a wee touch grainy, it could have used a little noise reduction on the blues, but under basic rules, you may not have been able to do that without killing the sharp details elsewhere.
