The Most Amazing Jet Picture - new details emerge on how it was taken
In September, 2003, the picture below showed up on several websites. I remember the day it came out because it was absolutely amazing, but it seemed to be an impossible shot. The aviation boards were full of rumors about the picture being fake but few days later, more details surfaced on the accident and how this REAL picture was captured.

The photographers career might be doing better than the pilots.

You can find videos of this Thunderbird pilot on the 'net. From all angles, including in-cockpit. (I've posted links to them here before, in fact).
Story I heard goes as follows: pilot rolls-out, takes off, enters loop, hits the tarmac due to uncalibrated altimeter and high-altitude airport. Pilot survives.
