F-18 Hornet Crash Captured
#1

This was a sequence of pics from last year but I thought the moment was beautifully captured, and a matter of being in the right place at the right time. Ian Marten from the Lethbridge (Canada) Herald had just completed a skydive when:

Quote:While returning to his car after the jump, and still shaky from the adrenaline rush, he paused to train his Nikon D300 + AF-S Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8D IF-ED lens on a CF-18 Hornet fighter jet being put through a slow, low-altitude pass over the Lethbridge airport in preparation for the weekend's Alberta International AirShow.

Moments later, he would make a series of pictures of the pilot safely ejecting and the plane crashing that would be seen around the world.

Amazing capture with the plane impacting the ground in a fiery explosion, while in the top left of the frame the pilot is seen ejecting safely.
