A Jet fighter pilot flys his Typhoon aircraft towards the cargo ramp of a C-130 Hercules for a photo op.
He radios: "How close do you want me?"
"Close Enough?"

you'd think with a camera like that the quality of photo would be a little better
I'ma get medieval on your ass!
Hair-raising stuff, good find.
Which reminds me, there is a pic of two F14s passing a destroyer with sonic boom rings of spray behind them. It always impressed me but can't find it. Anyone?

One hell of a ride.
Barring smoke and mirrors, if the camera* is in the photo it's unlikely to be the source. :-)

if it had had a refueling nossel on the front he coulda tickled the blokes nads... that must take some skill to do.
I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

There was* a photo from that shoot on airliners.net.
It makes a good screensaver at home.
*Can't find it now though...

Not a bad effort from a Typhoon pilot. RNZAF kiwis did a similar shot in a C130.
Superdukes. Serving up shame to sportsbikes since ages ago.

Somewhere I have a photo of a RAAF F18 doing that past some of the RNZN frigates when I was in the Navy...
oh I did say somewhere...
dodgy is as dodgy does
And I have a similar photo taken from a P3 looking up at a French naval vessel. Scared the crap out of them because they weren't expecting us.
Don't blame me, I voted Green.

So thats how they filmed Top Gun...
If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

You are not very far away from the truth EJ!
TOPGUN was filmed in pre-CGI days, so what you see on film is all real.
A lot of the actors were sent up in a Tom with cameras mounted in the cockpit.
