By playing with the color and contrast you, can make out
the RNAF Roundel on the right wing..
also the "bullseye" paint scheme on the leading edges and
horizontal stabilizer

Looks like it's just taken off, what with the wheels partly retracted.



Or doing what in the air show lingo is known as,

"doing a "dirty flyby" thats when you drop the gear and the flaps
open the bombbay, if you have one, and make a slow pass in
front of the crowd.
then you "clean up" or "get slick" and make a fast pass to show off..
