Bloody hell!

As requested an Royal Air Force "Typhoon" pilot flies up to the back door of a C-130 (Hercules) for a photo shoot.

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

Pilot Radios, ”Close enough?”


I think that proves that fighter pilots are still as mad as ever they were!!!

  1. Mad and stupid.

    F.O.D. or Foreign Object Debris.
    All it would take is a loose screw or similar rolling off the Herc's ramp straight into those nice big engine air intakes....

    I expect the pilots C/O will be inviting him for a little talk!!

    I also note that the Typhoon is VERY nose high, and has the leading edge slots deployed - that C130 must be flying pretty slowly.
