The jets? That's the only orange.
You're probably being sarcastic
I don't think I'm seeing what you're seeing in that image.
I'm pretty sure it's and f-14 launching off of a carrier, but the image is zoomed in so you only see a tiny portion of the deck obscured by the smoke. The orange glow is the jets on the back, and it's taken at an angle which makes the tail fins stick out weirdly.
I think it might be an f/a-18 actually, vertical stabilisers are more slanted in a V and the engines are closer together than on an f-14
EDIT: found the original image
