@bvallot LOL it very well could be.........I guess we will never be quite sure as to what it is. Im sticking with a Halloween prop, you know a rubber hand that you put in the dirt to look like a zombie is coming out of a grave.

Your guys guesses are as good as mine.......im gonna say its a forearm from an insurgent.

I seriously doubt that... The Air Force keeps their expensive fighter planes as far as they can from where bad guys on the ground are and still be within range to drop bombs from up high... And there are lots of folks watching out for human war trophies a la Vietnam. Times have changed.

another view zoomed in. Sorry the quality is so low but here you can see that he is holding something. You can see his fingers in the grey flight glove at the base of im assuming a forearm.......being a fighter pilot isnt all work abd no play after all.

@ CN Spots. I agree. Its probably a gag that he is pulling just to mess with the tanker guys or whoever is taking the shot. Like you said you can clearly see his own hand in the gray flight glove holding onto whatever the hell that is. Its not a felection or refraction of his own arm, you gotta look close and you can see HIS hand at the base of what he is holding. Go figure. Cant imagine where he would stash it though as the cockpit is already small and cramped as it is.

No grip there. Here's a similar view, different crew/plane.

I rezzed it up and zoomed in on it in photoshop and he is definitely holding something and from what I can see of his face, he thinks it's pretty funny. Probably some gag he came up with to give the tanker guys a chuckle.
