  • Coopers and red tails are pretty distinctly different. Size is the first marker as red tails are significantly larger than coopers hawks. Also, coopers have very distinctive barred breasts and banded tails. You can also differentiate them through their wing profile; red tails are buteos and have a broad wing profile that is largely straight while coopers are accipitors and their wings are much more angular so that they can more deftly maneuver through wooded areas.

    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.
