Cool shot! I'm guessing it's a British Harrier?

Whoops. This picture obviously wasn't taken with a Canon 1000D. It was actually taken with a Sony DSC-S50 so I'm pleasantly surprised about the comments on the clarity of the image.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments.

Very nice shot. My son would love this (he is a 7yo airplane fanatic -- he thinks it is a F16 because a navy pilot would have a different color uniform. Was he close at all?)
