This pic was taken over Kuwait in about 2000, just as the USAAF announced that there was no need for wet film recce anymore and binned all their cameras, because the F15E's radar was so good. Except that they found the image was attenuated too much by dust haze and the images were pants. So, some Vinten pods were borrowed from the Brits and put on the F14s who went and took traditional piccies. The FA2s, equipped with Link16 and AIM120s were their "shooters".

Role reversal if there ever was!
