Original Footage: Skip to 5:35, allegedly there was also a competition in the falklands about getting a herc loady to touch the Pitot probe (The point pit on the very front of the Jet) of an F4 Phantom. Without generalising legends like these live for many years in the services particularly the RAF and once the cameras had stopped rolling somebody might have been doing some "Very Close formation turbulence trials....." between the tiffy and the Herc

 :confused:



Maybe its all about perspective

Very cool vid, that must have been so exhilarating for the camera crew!  :notworthy:

Here's a few shots I took at work a few years back lying on the tail ramp of a C-130 Hercules.
Refuelled three Tornado F3s on this occasion.  Pilots seemed ungrateful - plenty of Gareth Hunt Nescafe beans hand gestures going on!
Apologies for the quality of the scanned copies of paper prints.

JJ Awesome pics, if the pilot seemed ungrateful ring his squadron and let his mates know he's a miserable git....

Another particularly good VID, great music and some great flying, being 8000 Nautical Miles away helps with "exuberant" testing of the aircraft abilitys, you wont find the RAF doing aerobatics and beating up radar stations on the mainland

Enjoy....

Excellent vid Dave.  :notworthy:

I read somewhere that because of ongoing unpleasantries there will be no Typhoon and Tornado displays at airshows this year.  :sad1: :sad1:

Looks like the Vulcan will be the star for a change,  :wink:

(If it gets there  :sad1:)
