I am not aware of an option to fly along with a C-130 and take pics from the aft ramp. (Apart from joining an Airforce, become a loadmaster on a C-130.. But I assume this option isn't what you mean ;-) )

The only thing I know of which comes close to doing air-to-air stuff is Erik Coeckelberghs thingy. See http://www.ericcoeckelberghs.com/index.php?page=fly for more info. But how to apply, costs etc. is a bit vague. Try contact him/the site for more info.

Lord_Manhammer,
He writes about a C-130 IN Germany not about a German C-130.
