You could always render the background separate. Then render the jet with a basic plane that has the same colors as the background (for reflection purposes.) Both would have the lighting set up at the same angles. Then mask render the jet. Why? With a separate background, you could give it a directional blur. Then it's just a matter of placing the jet on top using a separate layer and using the mask to control the layer transparency. Of course you might change this idea around a bit if the jet's low enough to cast shadows, etc. But you get the idea.
