Cool Photo - Caption Please

A few months ago this Air Force Thunderbird crashed at an airshow. Someone on ATOT posted a vid of the actual ejection from the cockpit camera, but I couldn't remember the post title. This photo was taken by a media photographer, who managed to capture the exact moment of ejection.

From the control tower, apparently.

The pilot was doing a split-S maneuver, if I remember, and he was at ~1450 feet when he started, when he should've been at 2000 feet.

the split-s might be another maneuver that was cancelled in their only other f-16 crash...
