There's the selfie - but even Obama and Cameron can do those.

There's also the super-selfie which we saw at the Oscars.Now one fighter pilot has taken the ultimate selfie by snapping himself while being photobombed by a missile he has just fired.The spectacular picture captures the moment the sidewinder roars past him in the background, with its rocket burning brightly, as the Danish top gun flies an F-16 jet at hundreds of miles an hour.While its nothing new for mavericks to photograph themselves in action, it is far rarer to see weapons being launched at the same time.The pilot appears to have fired the missile, an AIM-9L/M, using a Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System which enables him launch it simply by pointing his head at targets, according to The Aviationist.The image has been released by the Royal Danish Air Force days after a picture being dubbed the most famous selfie in the world was taken at the Oscars.It featured 11 of the biggest stars including Bradley Cooper, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Channing Tatum, Jennifer Lawrence, Jared Leto, Meryl Streep, Kevin Spacey, Julia Roberts, Lupita and Peter Nyong’o.Selfies also found worldwide fame when one was taken by Barack Obama, David Cameron and Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt during Nelson Mandela's memorial in December.(dailymail.co.uk)ANN.Az
