It’s the souvenir of a lifetime, and the Internet is just the scrapbook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Military pilots stateside and abroad have been capturing their best flight selfies with cameras \u2014 mainly GoPros \u2014 in the cockpit, giving audiences a glimpse of what it’s like on high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Federal Aviation Administration has taken a stance<\/a> on taking photos in the cockpit for commercial pilots, the Defense Department as a whole <\/span>does not have a specific policy for GoPro cameras \u2014 <\/span>small, mountable cameras used for action \u2014 or other selfie measures within its social media guidelines.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However the Air Force, per AFI 35-109, certifies and tests for electromagnetic interference on any camera that would go aboard military aircraft, said Air Force spokeswoman Capt. Brooke Brzozowske.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GoPro Hero, Hero2, Hero3, and some accessories are currently approved cameras, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, it seems like pilots have taken selfies only during training exercises, not combat missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the best pilot selfies and videos U.S. service members have to offer, and some from international military pilots, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
