Typhoon & Hercules

[Robbo3]

I know there are a number of ex RAF readers & found this whilst sorting out an old PC.

1 A Royal Air Force Typhoon pilot drives up to the open loading ramp of a C-130 (Hercules) for a photo opportunity.

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

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

4 Pilot radios........."Close enough?"

5 ". . . or do you want me to come in?"

You have to be a tad mad to be a fighter pilot in today's world but, even crazier to be a photographer looking into those big air intakes!

Nice one.

When I saw the title I thought it was about this version of the typhoon.

The best comment I heard was from a friend of my cousin's, when someone at a party asked what he did - you've seen the film Top Gun, haven't you? yes ....... well I train those pilot's trainers (and it wasn't bull doodah.)
