Random pic...
not so sure, with the ramp down, a c130 has a lot of drag, that's one thing sucking in air from over the fuselage to the back, then the air intake on the typhoon is below, ideally for getting air from under the c130... and the typhoon is probably flying very slow, needing very little thrust to maintain it's position

they do mention that there is a certain degree of distortion due to the lens
i'de love to see a sideways shot from a wingman or something,
maybe didn't have his nosetip over the ramp but i do think he came to close to be really comfortable

i think fod is more a concern then compressor stall
