Of all the images I have taken in my career this one is still my best. In the days when I still flew as a Naval officer and got good enough shooting from the cockpit to bring in medium format film, this was a once in a lifetime capture. To try to set the stage here. Your in two jets traveling at 350 mph, your setting up a nose high maneuver that you need to compensate how your hold the camera, your doing a count down over the radio of when the other plane will hit their flare release button and you press your shutter when you hit the word execute. When the 645s mirror comes gets back to normal you only see the last trail of a flare and you do not know what you got until you develop the film. It took alot of years of flying and getting a sense of timing for shots in the air when action happens in 100ths of seconds and then its gone. And to have done that all at the last light of day handheld at I think 1/125th of a second. Just does not get any better.
