It's been a source of some conjecture for several months. An
amazing shot, taken at the very latest fraction of a second, of a
stricken USAF Thunderbird F-16 in ejection mode, has finally been
claimed by its photographer.
Taken at (relatively) close range, the picture shows in
extraordinary detail, the last fraction of a second ejection of
Capt. Christopher Stricklin at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho.
After an error in judging entry altitude, Stricklin was forced to
abandon his aircraft less than a second before impact, in
the Thunderbirds' number six aircraft.
The amazing photo is the superb work of Air Force Staff Sgt. Bennie
J. Davis III...
