READY FOR YOUR CLOSEUP?

An RAF Typhoon pilot flies to the back door of a C-130 for a photo opportunity.

He radios, “How much closer do you want me?”
They radio "How much closer can you get?"

Image

Pilot radios "Close enough?!"

You have to be mad to be a fighter pilot in today's world but even crazier to be a photographer looking down those sucking intakes :loco: :loco:

Photoshop............

The vortex caused by the C-130 would cause such an inconsistant airflow to the jet intakes as to render the jet speed uncontrollable. IMHO.
Not to mention what the C-130 fuselage and propwash are doing to the airflow over the wings of the Typhoon.
