C-130 from the cockpit

I was lucky enough to be in the cockpit of a C-130 during a formation flying photography session off the California Coast and could take pictures of the photorigged C-130 (on the back cargo ramp).

Very cool.
Not everyone gets such a great chance to do this.
Looks like it was a good ride.
