Default Permission to come aboard sir?

Looks like they are moving relatively slowly. His slats are out. The
ramp guy or crew chief is guiding him left or right visually. I still
think that if this is for real and not photo-shopped, then they are
engaging in some very risky flying. Having said that, notice that their
altitude is very high and they are most likely very stable and without
attitude perturbations. Having said all of that I will say again that
this is risky business. I've seen some very close approaches to a C130
ramp but this one takes the prize.

Cheers,

Dave
