Lol! Look at the glare on the canopy! What a freaking riot! No doubt, the pilot had his personal camera with him, and he took the opportunity to snap a few photos. My husband’s done that so many times during training and actual missions that I couldn’t even guess close to the number of photos we have laying around here.
That said, who was the supposed “real photographer?” And his career has him normally shooting photos from a military jet? I didn’t think you could take all that gear up with you into an ejection seat.
Nice try Obama. It’s helping us every time you keep insulting us.

Sure you can.
There was a Naval Aviator by the name of C.J. Heatley who did some great photography from both the front and rear seat of an F-14.
