Yep, there is a little shaking, but I'm not bothered by it. Imagine you're up there, by the open ramp of the C-10, looking out into the air watching the F-35s. It's cold, really noisy, and the wind is rushing in making it hard to keep your balance or to hold anything completely still. The noise in the video adds to the realism of 'being there'. If I were trying to shoot the video, I imagine I'd have trouble keeping the camera still as well. I've never been fortunate enough to see an aerial refueling but have been fortunate to be with the Golden Knights for one of their demos. Noisy, freezing, just like the video. My fingers were so cold I thought I'd have permanent arthritis, and I loved the ride.

I like the bobbing and weaving the pilot of the F-35 does with his aircraft. It adds to the video and makes it kind of fun to watch. Excellent video.

It's not a C-10 (or a KC-10). It's only been 44 years since I rode in one but that sure looks like a C-130. Ya might have had be believing it was a C-17 if the picture was a little more blurred but I'm sticking with C-130. Final Answer.
