Good point! I'd like to see the picture that the guy in the navigator's bubble is taking. It's probably equally impressive!

A little challenging since they have to be <150 kts to have the cargo (rear) ramp and door open and the controls are a little mushy, but I can confirm it can be done safely. :D The wingman is below lead's propwash so he's in smooth air. The bubble is for an observer to watch for bad guys/SAMs. Cool stuff! The RAF guys always flew their as*es off and I always had a great time flying with them. They were equally as aggressive "after hours". I especially enjoyed watching them wheel a piano out of the club at CFB Cold Lake (Maple Flag '93), set it on fire, then ramming it with a beater Opel.
