![]() A tele-lens was used - the aircraft is at least 30 feet away, a bit closer perhaps than when refuelling from a C-135 (and definately higher), but not much. |

What you see in these pictures is a typical illusion of "closeness" produced by a long-focal-length lens. In reality the planes are not that close to each other. Remember not so long ago there was a lot of buzz in mass-media when some kid took a picture of two passenger planes "almost colliding" in the sky? Was it near some US airport? Don't remenber... But anyway, that was the same kind of illusion. -- Best regards, Andrey Tarasevich |
