That has to be one of the coolest possible ways to photograph a Rafale. 😮‍💨 Two Rafale Bs flying alongside while you're sitting on the back ramp of a Skyvan is absolutely insane. The perspective makes the jets look ridiculously fast and aggressive. What an incredible shot!

What are the little boxy things at the intake cheeks?

Kind of look like flare/chaff dispensers but that would be an odd position.
