CALIFORNIA – Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) photographer Frank Crebas is giving us an interesting insight on his awesome job in the sky: shooting air-to-air pics of other planes – often fast fighter jets – like in this case a RNLAF F-35A in the skies over California, last January. The video shows us how hard it is for the photographer to keep up with the accelerating F-35 as the pilot ignites the afterburner and flies away fast from the F-16, from where Frank is shooting from. Does this man have an amazing job or what?

Check out how fast the F-35 accelerates! Dutch F-35A over California at sunset last January. The F-35 was skillful piloted by @Ianknight35 while the #F16 I flew in was expertly flown by ‘Niki’. @thef35 @Aviation_Intel @Kon_Luchtmacht @OnzeLuchtmacht pic.twitter.com/qoXkRDrU3u
