Thunderbird6 ejection photo

[Tony]

This is certainly "aviation" and "military" - but I'm not so sure about the
"rec" part.

Came across this on another newsgroup and thought some might like to see
this excellent photo of the USAF Thunderbird #6. The photo of the ejection
was taken from the control tower at Mountain Home AFB, ID (wint a 300 mm
lens) less than one second before impact.

You should have been here a couple of weeks ago when it was new news
(after being stolen from the photographer by the accident board).

old news Tony...

Sorry - it was new to me. I must have missed it first time around.

No worries, I missed it the first time around and appreciate getting to see
it thanks to you.
