I wouldn't take the shot unless I could compose the picture to keep the jet trail out of the frame. I'm a purist and I would object to the cloning. FWIW, your picture wouldn't qualify as a nature print in our club and interclub competitions. That type of manipulation is against the rules. We do have separate digital categories where that type of manipulation is permitted. Tom Reese
