This is a manned drone practice mission At holloman AFB NM, the F4 overhead is a chase plane, the remote operated drone is touching downthese are used to test new weapons systems here at Holloman. There is a pilot in the drone for this mission as it is only a practice for the ground opperator, if it was unmanned we would not be able to be this close due to the drones self destruct explosive mechanism.
it's a fitting end for the Vietnam era workhorse, shot down testing new weapons instead of rotting in a scrap yard for more info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/82d_Aerial_Targets_Squadron
