I have done this it is a great view and you can feel the wind. | |
Much easier to find what you are looking for than looking out a side window! | |
Good view! | |
How can this not be rated 5 stars? | |
In the Coast Guard, you are supposed to watch the coast, aren't you? | |
"Oh I forgot our tanning lotion..." | |
Great picture! | |
WoW! | |
"What are you guys doin'?" "Chillin' 3000 feet up in the sky, nothing new!" Awesome shot ! | |
Wish I was one of those guys!! | |
SIMPLY AMAZING!!!! | |
Nothing more needs to be said. | |
Great moment!) | |
Captain: "Hey, that's illegal!" | |
Just outstanding how impressive and relaxing worklive can be at the same time! To me a five-*-photo! | |
Who does that they are lucky though they have line | |
Fantastic shot...BTW...they are getting paid too..:) | |
This is sure relaxing! One thing missing here is a cup of coffee. :D | |
nice shot .this real flight | |
Amazing makes me wish I was there. | |
Superb | |
Wow......What a view of "The Golden Gate Bridge". Wish I could have been in the back! | |
These guys at the edge of the platform, looking at the Golden Bridge, onboard the C 130, that's the best "seat" ever!!! | |
Living the life | |
Room for one more? ............ | |
So cool | |
What a nice place to rest... | |
A job with a view........ | |
Nice shoot | |
Excellent photo thank you for charing it!! | |
Of all the aviation photographs i've seen this , for me, captures the joy i found in flying. lucky me. magnificent! apart from the emotion evoked, the quality of composition, debth of field, multiple themes and color accents make this a most remarkable photograph and i am looking forward to my naval aviator's friend's comments. | |
They could have some cold beer and snacks to enjoy more this fantastic view. Good thing they | |
And then we woke up...cool pic | |
This is one of my favourite photos on a-net! Really cool job:) | |
Who cares about the money, I would do THIS job for free any day. nice shot! | |
YIKES!! I would be kind of scared, I wonder if they can hang off of the edge? nice shot | |
Is this what is meant by California Dreaming? | |
Wow thats great job | |
That is so cool! Wish I was there!!! | |
Join the coast guard and this maybe you one day! | |
Great shot | |
Where is the coffee? | |
I have been right where they are..as a former aircrew member on C-130's in the Coast Guard I was lucky enough to experience this few alot!! | |
Amazing view! | |
Amazing the way there so calm :))))) | |
That Looks Relaxing. :] | |
And away we Goooooooo.... | |
Fantastic! well done Kevin | |
The two people just casually laying down on the ramp. There is no sense of wind when looking at the two. Just a sense of peace as they view the bridge, beautiful scenery and the sail boat. Two man made contrasts of the plane and bridge against the beauty of the cliffs and ocean. I am from San Francisco so am a little biased. | |
The heroes in it. | |
It´s a wonderful view, siesta in the sky! | |
Simply stunning view. | |
Great pic. | |
Nice seats! How much do you have to pay for those first-class views? ;-) | |
That's LIFE! | |
I trust the cables leading from you two guys are tethers 'just in case' & not simply your com links .. Wouldn't want you to fall out now ;-) - Superb pic! | |
It's the way the photo was taken that made it so great, i mean in the air with guys hanging out the back! | |
What an amazing picture! makes you wonder what is going through there minds? | |
The best of! | |
2 x 5 Stars !! | |
An amazing view of the golden gate bridge have those two guys relaxing on the back door i whish i was there. great photo!!! | |
Fantastic!!!! | |
Fantastic!!!! | |
Makes me want to join the service at 55 years old! | |
The best thing about flying is the view, and this captures the feeling perfectly | |
What a great view..very cool | |
It is not a readily accessible subject; it gives a new viewpoint on a familiar landmark; it is technically good; it puts the viewer in a place he/she might well like to be in these circumstances; it has a 'wow' appeal. Tony Wood, England | |
That's the US Coast Guard for ya. They make every thing look like another day at the office. | |
Price of a 2 oz red spinaker, $3,700. 2008 price of a C-130, $66.5 million. View from the corner office, priceless! | |
Nice, I'd like to be there.... | |
The army should buy this shot and use it in a recruitment ad... man its unbelievable | |
Unbeliveable sight and i wish i was laying there. | |
This is the best shot ever! | |
Omg! i have never seen something on my pc like this! i connot believe this! god is awarding these guys! | |
Just 2 pina colada please !!! | |
Very Nice. How Much? | |
The view is just great | |
The nice day over the bay, and the exotic transportation | |
Excellent view | |
What a veiw for those two men, good weather and that bridge in the background rounds it off, awsome shot! | |
Very interesting | |
I love this photo!!! It captures a flight crew, the aircraft and one heck of a background over the golden gate bridge. All the makings of a awsome photo! great photo! | |
Very nice! | |
Great view :-D | |
Lucky bastards! | |
What a great way to go home!!! The picture draws you into it and makes you wish you were there. | |
Very nice picture there! amazing shot! | |
I have a fear of heights, bridges and flying. This ticks every box in one fell swoop or snap! | |
It's like paradise in the sky. Great view of an awesome scene. The sun is at a perfect angle. The overall composition is great. Very appealing to the eye. | |
It gave me a glimpse into another world. I'd never imagined relaxing that way (and you would never catch me in a similar spot!) but what a wonderful thing. | |
This picture reminds me of the one taken of some workers having lunch sitting on a suspended I-beam hundreds of feet above the streets of New York during the construction of the Empire State Building. | |
Great view from a high altitude... It's nice to slack off at THIS job! | |
Süper | |
What a remarkable view ! Perfect & breathtaking pic. These guy's deserve only the Best ! | |
This is one of the most beautiful, iconic photographs of America I have ever seen. | |
Exposure perfect | |
Impressive legroom! Sure beats SQ A380 "honeymoon" suite in the "room with a view" department! | |
I live close to Moffett field and see these C-130 from the CA Air NG fly over all the time for practice runs. Nice to know what they really do up there in the sky. Makes me a bit jealous. | |
The view in this shot is so exclusive it makes me just go WOW!!! | |
Breath-taking view. I would be terrified to not be in a safety harness in such a spot. | |
Just a dream | |
Simply spectacular photo ! You guy's deserve all the rest you can get. Heroes all ! | |
The best photo, I agree. Jose carlos valle, from Brazil | |
Had never considered this perspective before. It is obivious once you see it but what a rush to see it the first time. | |
These crewmen normally are very busy. they have to work hard, but in this moment they are enjoying a rest and viewing one of the greatest amreican structures ever built. viewed from their vantage point, you can see the great port of san francisco bay, and the historic headlands beyond.. I envy them | |
Niiiiiice ! | |
Good Depth of field, great view of SF. Everything conceptually is perfect, and the photo's technically excellent also. Hope you invade soon and liberate the city from the current oppressors! | |
Nicely taken.. two thumbs up :) | |
Talk about a great view!what a great ride home! | |
The angle of the shot really gives the impression of how spectacular a view this is. The national landmark is clearly visible, and from a different angle than is normally expected. The weather is spectacular, and the two airmen reclining on the cargo deck are a nice touch. It takes one a few moments to realize what exactly is going on, then it's breathtaking. | |
Excellent photo. everyone should do this for a living. | |
The shot catches a great view with two people enjoying the view. I'd like to be sitting beside them and enjoy the special excitement that can be viewed from this prospective. galaxysojourner | |
This gives me butterflies! | |
Quite the office, we can only dream | |
This shot is unique in it's perspective. Not many people get to view the Golden Gate Bridge, or any other subject from the cargo bay of an airplane. The photographer even shows the safety lines on the others in the photo, and the eye moves out the open hatch to catch the beautiful view. | |
Beautiful Picture | |
Because I remember what it was like looking out the back of a C119 back in the 50's .. | |
A great image on a clear day of the Golden Gate Bridge. | |
Great framing for the subject. Exposure is well done, details are visible inside and outside of the aircraft. Besides, I'd love the chance to check out the view from the same reclined position. | |
I like the relaxed feeling and the beautiful weather | |
A very unique view, a well framed shot too. | |
Unusual! | |
Spectacular shot...very unique to see the golden gate bridge and two airmen enjoying a rather unusual view of it... | |
It's every man's and woman's dream job. | |
Trying to put myself into your position... wow... i hope u r secured....lol.. awesome shot! | |
Rare perspective, clear, big picture in the best sense... | |
Life is short and to get to experience a ride and view like this can only be through great luck that probably will never be repeated. | |
I am glad you had a camera and that you used it! Good job! | |
The photo gives you a "feel" of being there! | |
This is the epitome of rare. That new airline sure knows how to treat their passengers! | |
Great shot | |
I'd like to sit in the middle. Isn't it a view to die for. And you just might | |
In my opinion, this is the beats the hell out of a window seat! | |
Cool! | |
Having spent 25 + years in the military, I have spent many hours in a C-130. This view is beautiful. | |
Extremely unique placement and perfect angle... beautifully done! | |
It's a pleasant change to be able to see a few of the fine servicemen that ensure our freedom enjoying a beautiful day while flying. | |
Amzing Shot | |
It's surprising, incredibly crisp detail and depth of field, and tells a story. | |
I like it! | |
So laid back and easy and confident -- the world is the oyster for young men... | |
I love how relaxed this is, just hangin' out, enjoying the view..... | |
Breath taking and it made me wish I was there! | |
You get the sense you are actually in the picture taking a ride in the bay of the plane. When in the Navy we steamed out and back under the bridge and now vicariously I have sailed over it. | |
I could tell this was a C130 beautiful just beautiful | |
I love the clarity of this shot. Good contrast between the light and the shadows. The bridge looks as though it is in a fairy land scene, such a good contrast with the coast guard observing the whole scene. | |
Best "balcony" view I`ve ever seen... | |
The contrast in darks and lights helps intensify the sense of near and far and also the great difference in scale. the people who are in fact small in realtionship to the bridge and boats are much bigger in the image than the bridge or boats. | |
Best of both worlds - in the air and on the sea. | |
Very clear and easily distinguishable | |
Awesome | |
Breathtaking | |
Now that is a lovely sight. | |
Great | |
Very nice view of the ggb | |
Fantastic!! Amazinh!! Beautiful !! Take me on a ride too! | |
Unique photo. Nice subject, relaxed subjects. | |
Great picture. Moments like these stick. Salaries might not be top, but you guys get paid in natura which has a value of its own.. | |
Work hard but also enjoy life one moment at a time while you are still young. | |
Beautiful! | |
Maybe best of the year... this shot really looks like "damn buddy, we got one cool job" | |
It reminds me why i need to join the military. | |
Gr8 example for Njoying life at every moment | |
This picture shows how blase one can become when surrounded by beauty in the course of an ordinary work day. | |
Wow! | |
That has to be one of the coolest feelings in the world...to be flying with no windshields blocking the air from you...just you flying through the air..think about it...wonderful | |
Best view off the planet | |
Snacks rule! | |
Fantastic shot from the back of a C-130. | |
Awesome | |
I can only live vicariously through this shot! Such amazing scenery, but I'd be scared to death to sit there like those guys! | |
Woooow | |
Por su enfoque, por la vista, por los colores, porque es bonita de ver!!!!! | |
Man 1- "this is the life" Man 2- "deffo" | |
They're just kickin' back... awesome!! One of the best ever on the site, for sure *****! | |
God Bless America! Still find it funny that all the "fair" and "non-bias" news doesn't cover the heroes that America still makes, instead they do full coverage on the junkies, the perverts, the scum, the homeless, and the illegal. | |
Exactly how many folks get to see something like this everyday. It is nice to see the two guys enjoying it to its fullest | |
Great shot! | |
Fantastico | |
Lol awesome | |
WOW | |
ME GUSTA! | |
Lucky people!!!! | |
What a relaxing shot!!!!!!!!!! Funny too! | |
That is awesome | |
Wonderfull | |
Cool! Are those guys strapped on to anything though? Lol, great shot | |
Great view. One of the perks of the job for our military personnel. | |
I love the composition going from bottom to top right | |
Airforce, fly'n with an awsome view of San Fran Bay | |
Live this Life! | |
Beautiful | |
Awsome Photo, our military rocks! | |
Umique view of the Golden Gate | |
Amazing view, fearless guys, great shot - what more can i say? | |
Wow - this photo makes me feel all funny inside! I feel like those guys are going to slide off the edge any minute, despite how relaxed they look. SCARY! | |
Beautiful | |
Damn... This is the greatest of all time! I can smell that JP4 and feel my teeth rattle! | |
Awsome pic! Wont catch me doing that! | |
Fantastic View! | |
That looks fun! | |
Really those cargo officers are havin´ a nice time. I wish I was there. T.B. | |

Now, that is a cool picture!! I hope they are safely fastened!! I bet the view and sensations are fantastic from this place! Thanks a lot for sharing this unusual scene :-) | |
That's one hell of a view... | |
What a view indeed. Seems dangerous though should anything fall out or the door supports malfunction. | |
Simply amazing!! It's better than A380' first class!! | |
Good Idea, nice Livestyle | |
Coolest picture ever. 5* | |
In the click time very well, far beyond what we ca expect from an air picture ****** star photo | |
Office with a view... beautifuL :) | |
Damn what pic! Great! Thankz for sharing!! | |
Amazing shot! what a view | |
Oh, yeah. Fabulous. Perfect exposure. | |
Great perspective! How many of us are wishing that we are up there with them while viewing this photo? All of us! | |
Great idea and execution... 5 stars from me... | |
Excellent image! A great deal of humor combined with the surreal fealing of just hanging in the air. | |
Among the most spectaculous pictures on a.net, congrats, well done | |
This is a great shot. Something completely different than we are used to see here. Fantastic! | |
I like it | |
One of the best office in the world. :-) | |
5 stras, couldn't get better kevin. Very, very nice. Love the loadmasters lie down the ramp! Sven from N-Br. | |
The most funny picture on Airliners.net :)) five stars for subject and quality! | |
Great shot! | |
I'm speechless. | |
Wow ¡ Impressive ¡ The aircraft frames one of the most beautifull bridges in the world, but... I hope they are well tied | |
Awesome photo! That must be so cool to sit there! | |
Nice | |
That's what I call a 'window' seat! | |
I would so like to be one of those guys | |
These guys know how to relax. That would also be my prefered style of flying. No need fo first class ;) | |
Amazing! No doubt the best view in the house. | |
What an awesome desktop wallpaper! | |
Breathtaking view .... woooowwwwwwwwww | |
It's just another day sunbathing, relaxing and looking at the beautiful ocean... except we're only moving 500mph at 6000ft. | |
Very freaking nice! Some guys have all the fun... | |
Reminds me of when i was in san fran...great picture with a beautiful background | |
FREAKING SPECTACULAR picture!!! 5*, 50* if I could! | |
Awesome shot! They are really enyoing man:) | |
It is a beautiful view | |
Nice Shot. Love the Bay! | |
Wow , i have no words. | |
Best place ever to have a date! but not with a marine no way great picture! thumbs up! | |
The best photo on A.net, hands down. What a beauty ;) | |
Oh my God ! This is the coolest photo I have ever seen ! I really want to do this before I die ! Who wouldn't enjoy their favorite drink with this view ? Great, excellent job ! ;) | |
Amazing! | |
Man they are sure relaxing. Great Pic. | |
The fringe benefits of an otherwise difficult and often unappreciated job - these folks deserve the best view in the world! | |
An unusual/unique perspective on an iconic image,golden gate seen from a 10x12 patch of moving aluminum, 5000? feet in the sky. nice! | |
Awesome!!! What a great Shot | |
First aerial shot i've seen of the bridge. | |
This two guys looks like man's without problems :D | |
That picture is unique and so different from 99% of the others in the database. Very original. Thanks! | |
Now that is a rare view! The colors of the Bay are absolutely amazing. One of a kind capture! | |
This is one of the nicest pic i've ever seen here. | |
This is what you call death just a few feet away, pardon the pun, but if the guy stood up for some reason, and the airplane ran into some rough turbulence, he could find himself swimming with the fish. | |
I was crossing the Golden Gate when you took that picture!!!! | |
These guys look quite relaxed. Yeah, they are chilling, don't they? An impressive photo showing an impressive building in the background...To me this picture deserves 5 stars! Keep up your good work, Alexander Hille - Berlinspotter | |
