I was in southern Alberta and happened to be flying out of Lethbridge County Airport on Sunday, just as the International Airshow was taking place. This is a shot from the departure lounge of the wreckage of F-18 crash that occured on Friday. [I've posted the image, as the pilot is ok and nobody on the ground was hurt].
In this view, you can just make out the outline of the Rocky Mountains behind that taxing trainning jet and the burnt out tail fins of the F-18.

Saw that on the news this morning and was thanksful the pilot got out before it crashed. A great photo of what is not only left of the plane, but of the profile of the other one.

Great shot, John. Sad about the crashed one but the other one is very good. Silhuette of Rocky Mountains is veri nice.

Well, wasn't that a timely departure. I have seen that crash over and over on the news all day today. That pilot must have 9 lives and I think he used them all on that flight.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
A good action shot and what a lucky pilot John. Would make a good photojournalist shot.

Photos of the pilot ejecting, note how the thrusters had so quickly positioned the seat for proper chute deployment.
