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 don’t think I’m seeing what you’re seeing in that image.

Hmm okay, I see. I still think it looks weird but at least I get what you’re saying now.
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
