As requested a British Royal Air Force pilot flies up to the back door of a C-130 (Hercules) for a photo op. 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 British fighter pilots are still as mad as all other fighter pilots in the world!!! |

suspicious. The lack of clarity on the CLOSE UPS. Those are expensive cameras, and that image looks degraded like when you enlarge

I agree with Chris. It might have been taken with a telephoto lens or blown up in photoshop. The cloud shapes also seem to be magnified.
I'm no expert.

Yeah I had my suspicions as well, but it's still pretty cool looking. I guess this is the first false email message I ever got!  |

It looks like the plane would be too close to the other one for the proper amount of air to go through those air intakes. I am no jet pilot, but it seems to be fake to me.

Every piece of FOD, the photographers and their equipment would have been inhaled and digested. |
