Given the cracking typhoon build thread on here:

ONLY THING THEY DIDN'T DO IS TAP THE NOSE OF THE FIGHTER!

A British Royal Air Force Typhoon pilot
flies up to the back door of a C-130
(Hercules) for a photo opportunity.

He radios, "How much
closer do you want me?"

They radio, "How much closer can you get?"

[ATTACH=CONFIG]41885[/ATTACH]
Pilot Radios,.........”Close enough?”

You have to be a tad mad to be a fighter pilot
in today's World but, even crazier to be a
photographer looking down those intakes!

[ROSSCO]

Excellent shots of an awesome aircraft!!

[LaurenceGough]

Wouldn't the turbulence or lack of air cause problems for the jet??

Awesome photos anyhow.

[asomaro]

Outstanding!

Thanks for posting

there was a massive thread about this on rcgroups iirc. they are fake, photoshopped from pictures taken during the making of the RAF recruitment advert(where the typoon turns into spanners)
one of the tell tale signs was the green sleeve on the right of the last picture(look where it follows the tail fin)

this vid shows how close they actually got:)

awesome pilot and awesome pics eh, that must have been a right buzz being on that plane taking the photo's

[AlastairC]

Was a little suspicious... Damn photoshop.... Now we never know if things are real or not :)

[chris jones2.4]

you can see they are fake, as ron said, the sleeve and also the cut around the plane, it was a nice try but i dont think you would be able to get the close

Now you have to find the thread so we can all enjoy :) (and I can mail the person who sent me the images)

[Boggy]

still looking:)

[asomaro]

oh damn - and there I was thinking that they were great pics doh...

[steve g]

shame there not real, i feel a bit silly now (ha ha)

[Spanner]

The first couple of pics are real but the last couple aren't, the jet is on the ground and not flying! the sleeve is one give away as it's a jacket us groundcrew use, the other major flaw is the ADT's, the little weather vane things just above the intake, they would be all pointing in the direction of the airflow, which they aren't, so I say it's a pic on the ground before it's taxied. Nice try though.
But I'm on my phone so can't see the pics very big!
