If memeory serves me correctley the true story behind this photo is better then the captions. During ACMI (dog fighting) with another FA-18 the two aircraft hit each other. The second aircraft crashed, but with nose damaged and cockpit lost this pilot returned to base. I am not sure why the pilot did not abandon the aircraft, maybe ejector seat failure?
