Incredible photograph
Photo Warning - Big picture - If you're using IE, click the enlarge button to get the full effect. Story and more pics
That first picture is one of those rare instances of being in the right place at the right time with the right equipment on hand. Not to mention the guts it took to stand there and snap it with a steady hand. Awesome.

"The pilot ejected just eight-tenths of a second before impact, after reportedly making an effort to steer the aircraft away from the crowd of about 85,000 ... and now works at the Pentagon, in Washington, D.C. Stricklin suffered minor injuries. The F-16, valued at $20.4 million, was destroyed."
