    How close do you like it ( tailgate )

    So reckon cars can tailgate.

    Check this out, the first pic is the rear end of a C-130, the rest you can work out for yourself

    Awesome pics Drivesafe , just goes to show the Skill of these Pilots involved , The Midair fueling is also really amazing how they bring the plain straight up to the Fuel Bowser and hook on keep the plain steady till fueling is completed.

    Looks like a film crew to me.

    Arri 435 camera
    on an O'conner head with a moy base
    on a wedge plate
    onto a three-way leveller
    on a tripod hi-hat base

    But that'd be guessing.

    Cheers

    There might be a couple planes in there, too, but that's just the set.

    Cheers

    That’s what got me, with the jet’s intakes so close, how does it get enough air?

    Looks like a new technique to change pilots mid-flight. Fly into the back of a bigger plane, swap pilots then reverse out. An airborne aircraft carrier.

    Amazing skill.

    My Dad knew a few fighter pilots. They reckon that their heart rate was higher lining up to and doing mid-air refueling than during dogfights.

    I forwarded the E-mail on to a mate and as usual, just to take the fun out of things, he picked that the clouds were MUCH BIGGER in the last pic so there is a good chance it’s more down to a good telephoto lens then to a close parking arrangement.

    Still amazing though
