Can someone explain this one? The canopy is blown, ejection seat activated, so how does it get back on deck with no pilot?

Also, is this image I found shopped (again)

Pretty sure it's not. Condensation due to low pressure or some such.

Kevin the only mention I can find in relation to this image is

'F-18's Mid air'

Big stab in the dark.....formation flying mishap, canopy lost due to damage, seat looks intact to me...made it back using a ground cable landing with the carrier hook...

The seat IS intact.

If in fact the seat had been fired, there would be a big telescoping rod sticking out of the cockpit...something similar to the images below.
