Earlier in the week we featured a still from a video that was unanimously voted as the most badass selfie we’ve ever seen and now you can have a look at the video in question.
Thomas Kristensen (call sign MET) is the Royal Danish Air Force pilot featured in the video above and he’s currently the proud owner of one of the best selfies we’ve ever seen.
According to Flyvevåbnet on YouTube: “Royal Danish Air Force pilot Thomas Kristensen (call sign MET) fires an AIM-9L (“Sidewinder”) air-to-air missile from an F-16 Fighting Falcon over the North Sea during an exercise in October 2012.
“The missile was fired at a flare, dropped by an RDAF Challenger aircraft.
“An AIM-9L missile costs approximately 575,000 Danish Kroner (€77,050). In order to keep their training intact and up to par, active pilots have to fire one every third year.”
