How close do you want me???

A Royal Air Force Typhoon pilot drives up to the back door of a C-130 (Hercules) for a photo opportunity, ........... at 26,000 ft.

He radios, "How close do you want me?"  They radio, "How close can you get?"  Pilot ........."Close enough?"  " 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 huge air intakes!
