  They could have used pngs instead of bmps, though...

No doubt learning to make shiny spheres over checkered planes improves
the quality of future Air Force officers.  Maybe it'll help keep them
from dropping bombs in the wrong place ;)

  I don't think it makes harm to a pilot to train his perception of
three-dimensional measures in his head.

No, I just gave them the right to post the image on the webpage. In fact, 
after re-reading their first message it looks that the page shouldn't be 
visible from the internet, but I found it through Google by accident. 
People, you just hacked a US military website...

To be clear, this course is not for USAF pilots or staff, but is part of a 
summer seminar organised by the USAF Academy for high school students.

I'm sure the government has far more expensive -- yet surprisingly
inefficient -- ways of doing that.  Why do for free what you can do for $120
million?  ;)
