About the dreamlifter pic: I'm guessing that was a coupled approach while the other pilot sleeps and you take pictures and eat sandwiches?
 
Very nice... I remember when I use to be able to do that; now if I do I:173go1:
 
Bone very nice Huntsville Alabama pics. Im asssuming thats were you were with reference to the UK VC10.
 
Good location guesses. The C-17's were at Charleston AFB, and the VC-10's were at Huntsville, Alabama.

TIGISFAT: The ground shots were taken with the a/c stopped and brakes set. The Dreamlifter pic was taken with the F/O flying the plane. We were fully configured for landing and the checklists were done, so there was nothing unsafe about it. It actually takes more time to reach forward and over to put down the gear handle than it does to snap a pic. But a nap and a sandwich sound pretty good, hehe.
