Hugely interesting Mike,thanks for all these great interviews
Hi all. I have no idea why it has cut off at 25 minutes. I will reupload the full interview for tonight. Apologies
Thanks it just went ...............
Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for your work. Love the interviews.
Great work chaps,thanks
excellent
nice aircraft and great guys
Makes me smile when these guys talk about flying 100 feet off the ground at 550+ kts. like it’s nothing. Great stuff
Terain following radar helps .
Very tasteful intro ad.
1:57 Baldrick: "If I OWN the bullet with my name on it, I'll never shoot myself"
It's great hearing RAF guys acknowledging the existence of Area 51, most US Officials deny it ! Haha awesome interview Buddy and great location too ☺
NO one Denys Area 51 these days! Even Americans. It receives funding from the defence budget so Area 51 is on paperwork everywhere these days. And has been general knowledge ever since Bob Lazar.
@@bulletproofkam7931 I do seem to recollect former Presidents not acknowledging Area 51s existance when questioned.
@@mkmdexplorationparanormal5610 Area 51 officially didn't "legally" exist until the early 90s. It was a court case regarding a working dying from a burn pit there that made then officially recognise the base.
Of course everyone knew the base was there from the 60s. You just didn't speak of it.
Mind the Russians did troll the Americans by releasing a sat pic of the base showing it's very long runway
Low level Night Terrain Following Radar through a snow storm on my first Red Flag mission. Crossing one mountain range we had 250 ft showing on the Radar Altimeter and over 10,000 ft showing on the Barometric altimeter....just nuts. Flying at what is 'medium level' for the Tornado, but actually low flying, hugging unseen mountains in the cloud, at night. The jet coped though extremely well and kept us alive.
I can imagine it was a lot of fun!
@@Aircrewinterview Satisfying yes, 'fun' - I'm not too sure about that, but only after you are back on the ground. Worst part is actually the recovery back to Nellis. When you are on approach, the jets in front of you just disappear within the mass of the City lights in the background. Then there was the night when an F15 flew through the jet-wake of another and thought they had a mid-air. A radio call of 'REDFLAG KNOCK IT OFF' cancelled the entire exercise and it was every man, women, child and dog for themselves, the plan didn't exist anymore. We had just reached the hold point, so we bravely headed back South to Vegas at a vast rate of knots to get ahead of most of the other players. The RHWR (radar warning receiver) was completely full in the 6 o'clock from all the dozens of jets behind us. It was hectic, but fun (only when on the ground again) ;-)
13:20 what is that thing hanging off the front of that lgb? seeker? does it move or just float??
Very good. Really interesting. In which museum was the interview filmed?
Thank you. its Yorkshire Air Museum.
I should have known with the Halifax in the picture, left side. Thanks
Great stuff..... but it only goes to 25 mins and then stops, despite 47 mins indicated!
