This is an amazingly rare photo situation. The photographer wasn't too far away from that blast and he's not the enemy taking that shot. Plus the pic is taken from in FRONT of the targets which are buttoned up, with no muzzle bags, and ready for action! Usually battle shots are from behind because the camera guy isn't on point!!!

My guess would be that the platoon commander of those Panthers snapped that shot just before buttoning the hatch and acquiring a target...

I often find myself wondering about the people who took many of these shots and the danger they put themselves in.

There's a thread on air combat photogs in the Arir Warfare section with a guy wedged into the baggage compartment of an Fw 190. Grapes baby, grapes.
