There's always a delay in sound with fast jets, so if you'd taken the pic about 4 seconds later you would have seen the Os's bolting up the field with horsepoo erupting from their asses!! hahahaha

I grew up in a village, surrounded by fields, now, every now & then a horse would break free from one of the fields. Now on this day, the farmer (owner of the horse) said to me & my friends "when the horse comes runing towards you, link hands, scream & shout, & make the horse run onto the open field" sound easy doesn't it? no. Try standing in front of a horse running flat out (a show jumping horse no less), screaming & shouting for it to run into a field. We didn't, we ran away in fear of our lives, thus the horse then ran in the other direction, straight onto the road, straight into a car, broke it's legs, and was put down.

Moral of the story?........................ Horses are f**king stupid

As stilover says, horses are f**king stupid, they can be conditioned to ignore loud noises by constant exposure. That's what they do with police horses & those used in military bands.
