Somebody sent me these pics via email...not sure they are fake or real (they look real to me)...but wow that is close. Suppose to be photo session out of the back of a USAF Herc...

Do a Bo Duke style jump from the herc onto the hood of the Typhoon.

Awesome aircraft..

..not enough screens of it

would be interesting too know where it was shot....USAF and Typhoon dont really match up.

You'd want to make sure that everything was secured in the back of that Herc....

I,m going to say fake , but man did land on the moon

I've seen these shots somewhere else before. Just the use of a telephoto lens in the last couple of shots probably makes the Typhoon look bigger and closer than it really is. I've been on the flight deck of a herc in a two ship formation and looking up at the ramp of the lead aircraft, close enough to clearly identify the guys standing on the ramp !! So believe me you can get close. I'm sure Gavin Conroy has been in a similar situation looking past the ramp to photo trailing aircraft.

Exactly what I thought, Telephoto lens are deceiving.

That email has been around a while, i think the last 2 shots are trickery because you could get sucked in by the jet inlets.
