It's smoke, and the picture wreaks of editing.

Very wrong. The vortices from the motors form the angel wings.

Notice the near identical smoke formation in post 7.

If you see the video clip "Angel Flares" you will see it has not been edited.

In this photo, the leading aircraft fired off it's flares, then flew on. When past the flare residue the second aircraft fired it's flares.

No it doesn't, that is what it looks like almost every time.

I have some awesome photos of F-14s going ballistic that look surreal as well, they aren't edited either. I know because I took them and I developed them)

Angel" Decoy flares from a C-130
"I initially thought this was a hoax. The picture included in the first version of this message looked like it had been badly drawn. In the latest version, stills are taken from a video and are very realistic. The pictures are real and these are decoy flares. They make various patterns according to the weather, etc."

The photo was not edited. The “angel” is the smoke remaining from a previous flare release some distance back.

There is visual compression from the use of a telephoto lens. The aircraft are more separated than it appears as is the smoke angel.
