Number 1 is good as the jet is just on the verge of going supersonic, in fact some of it (the back end behind the vapour cloud) is supersonic.

 

The guy in number 3 is a bit daft, I always remember the army guy who was decapitated by a Hercules on a low pass..

Was he not standing on the top of a 4tonner though?

I do remember watching a Herc crew pull bits of tree from the underside of the aircraft after one sortie, but that was quite a long time ago..
