The image in question. I am not a Pilot but I have been photographing airshows for 20 years and that was the closest to the ground I have seen a fast jet come with his wheels up. I honestly though I was about to photograph an accident.
The important thing is that he walked away and had the raw nerve to fly again that evening (without the flick before the high alpha pass).
That is worth credit where it is due IMHO.
