Is the TBirds Public affairs actually apart of the air force? I called
the pentagon and they won't discuss the matter. I just don't know who
is the best person to speak to.


Someone else gave you a link to their website.

I heard that the videographer was part of their team and
that the video came from the control tower. That jet was
heading in the videographer's direction when the pilot ejected.
Nerves of steel. He or she deserves all the credit you can
give them.

Marty,

Is this video from the tower on the web anywhere?

I've only seen the still photo that the team photog shot right after the
canopy came off and right as the seat is coming out of the tub but I've
never seen video from that angle.
