So I'm shooting (video, not bullets) as they're taxiing past, and all the USAF guys, Ray Ban Aviators akimbo, looking like Judge Dredd with the sun visor down, doing Sylvester Stallone impressions, are giving the camera the thumbs-up, firing off snappy salutes, etc.
Tornado trundles past. Immediately, both crew begin mugging like schoolkids and shouting "Hello, mum!".
I'm not sure which I prefer really, but I know which shot the producer preferred

Took this one at RIAT, Fairford 2006. Couldn't resist!
