This is similar to how it looks when viewed in an enemy fighter pilot's rear view mirror. The only four major differences between this "view" and the view that a real enemy fighter pilot has are ... 1) both aircraft are up there in the sky, 2) there is a USMC fighter jock under that Hornet's canopy, 3) the Hornet has stingers, and 4) there is a hot load of missile comin' up the enemy pilot's a_s. And it is those last three differences that are very MAJOR differences because it means the enemy fighter pilot is two heartbeats away from becoming just a memory.
Great Perspective Gary! Love the face to face with an F18 and the C130's in back make this a great shot! 5 *'s

Fantastic framing for this epic shot! Pretty awesome Nevada ANG still gets actually fighters or aircraft as over here in Iowa we are moving to fully using UASs.

Actually there are 6. Flaps would not be down. Gear would not be down.
