How To Get The Ultimate Pic Of A Fighter Plane

A place for 'real world' pilots and aviation enthusiasts to discuss their hobby

I thought I'd pass this link on (from KiwiSim) for anyone who hasn't seen these pics.

Step One, get cameras set up in the loading bay of a Hercules
Step Two, have a Eurofighter fly real close...

:o

Ha ha no kidding
There's this manoevre done many times on TV & in the movies, where the car drives up to the back of this huge 32-wheeler with trailer ramp down.
At the last moment the car pops the clutch, coasts up the ramp and hits the brake, instant before decapitating the truck driver.
Ramp up again, no-one would know.
Now, can anyone say why the camera in the Herk was not processed down the Typhoon's inlet tract??
