“Missile launch.”
No...no, no no.
The first is a Lear Jet taking off from just behind the trees and engaging his autopilot. You can see the course correction right there at the beginning of the arc.
The second is a Pitt-special aerobatic bi-plane with smoke generator. Notice that they conveniently snap a picture right before the hammer-head stall maneuver to make it deliberately appear to be a missile.
It’s all a matter of perspective.
