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?"
They radio, "How much closer can you get?"
Pilot Radios, ”Close enough?”
I think that proves that fighter pilots are still as mad as ever they were!!!
Mad and stupid.
ReplyDeleteF.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.
That's Prince Andrew larking about, where's his nonce mate?

ReplyDeleteSomething like a camera man?
All risks aside .. it still took a lot of "bottle" on the part of all concerned ..
