      Travis C yes the Tornado still is an awesome machine and the best at low level flying. Unfortunately it’s time is limited and I for one will be very sad as I was a RAF Tornado GR4 pilot and still have a great fondness for it.

    The Tornado is a monster, watched many combat takeoffs by the Italian Air Force in the late nighties whilst deployed at Gioia Del Colle. Also saw Harriers and Warthogs deploy, what an amazing sight to see.

    Great video! Always loved the Tornado. All I wanted to be as a kid in the 80's was a Tornado pilot - then I found out I was colour blind. Having said that you gotta love the way the Typhoon just leaps into the air and then goes straight up. Really do need to get over there and see this first hand.

    Well, I recognized three squadron badges; 29 Sqn with the XXX and the pouncing black shitehawk, shiney six with the flying can-opener and 41 with the double armed red cross. Brings back real memories for me because they were some of the squadrons who passed through Coningsby while I was stationed there in the early 70's. They were converting from Lightnings to Phantom FGR2's to carry on the good work of chasing away the Russian Bears. Happy days!

    MRCA still my favourite. Saw the first ones at Briitish Aerospace, Warton as an apprentice many years ago. Was involved in the building of the Radar/Laser test facility and fast fuel systems for the MRCA (before being called Tornado). Still have my name on the many of the As Built drawings as my claim to fame. I am surprised that you can get so near to the runway in this current climate. Might take a trip up one day with my big 400mm lens on my 5dMkII.

    • @JohnSmith-pd1fz
      @JohnSmith-pd1fz 8 лет назад +1

      +Edward James Yeah, at the height of the Cold War (which my American acquaintances tell me they won) I used to sit with mates on a crash gate at Coltishall to watch the aircraft coming and going. One really quiet day there was a sudden scramble, the sounds of hooters and a pair of interceptors being fired up. Colt was considered front line then, along with Marham which had Victor refuelling tankers. and the various radar and communications installation scattered about the county. Anyway the Lightnings did a fast taxi, lifted off dead opposite where we sat then just stood up on their tails and disappeared. Apparently there was special concrete in that area to withstand the blast. One hopes that when they reached altitude a minute or so later, the friendly Victor was there to refuel them!
      We also had Thor nuclear missiles based on another Norfolk airfield not far from where I now live. Front line Norfolk without a doubt!

    I spent 3 years on 17(F) Black Hands RAF Tornado squadron in Germany after we fazed out the 17 squadron jags. Top plane even when they banned the JP233 anti airfield armaments ;-)

    Bonjour, une petite question, a-t-il déjà eu un prototype du typhon en version naval ? 🤔 Ci non superbes images merci beaucoup pour tout ça 👍😘🇫🇷🌹

    Brilliant video... any reason why the tornado takes so long to go into reheat? thanks.. Asked a german air force pilot during an airshow and the answer was just a procedural thing. any ideas thanks?

      +Stephen Gauci Thanks Stephen, pleased you liked the video.
      from what I've been told it's down to heat spread i.e. they have to wait for the whole engine to reach temperature before slaming in the reheat. Typhoons use modern engines and don't have this problem.
      hope that helps
      all the best

      +ArcturanMegadonkey Yeah that's basically it. They have to stabilise the engine and note the temperatures for trend tracking. Before each sortie they note down the dry temperatures at max before knocking into reheat to take off that's why there's a pause before they kick the afterburners in. As the engines go through their maintenance cycle their performance slowly degrades, by tracking the temperatures the engineers can identify if they are failing earlier than the proscribed maintenance periodicity and then if needed call them in before they fail catastrophically. They also use magnetic plugs in various spots throughout the engines and gearboxes to pick up any 'iron filings' that may be produced by failures too. They are also checked on set periodicity, unless the engine has a history of poor performance in which case they will be checked more often.

    It is interesting that most of the Typhoons didn't use afterburner during take off. Great way to save fuel.

    • @ArcturanMegadonkey
      @ArcturanMegadonkey  9 лет назад

      Davey Barton I think they have plenty of power, if it's a performance take off they do and of course if a QRA take off they do. really nice to see when they do use reheat.
      thanks for watching and commenting

      Davey Barton Big push "dry" of the engine of the Typhoon compared to the Tornado ...Over 30 years of technology between them....

    As a taxpayer I cannot help but think of all the food that could be bought for the poor starving little orphans by not burning so much Avjet on reheat. Bah humbug, pass me that damned toasting fork Marjorie!

    As beautiful as the Typhoon is, one thing that bothers me is the wing shape. I don't see a delta wing, I just see this... Triangle.

    • @martincourtenay-blake5792
      @martincourtenay-blake5792 7 лет назад

      If you look carefully you will see that it isn't quite a true delta. The wings are also very slightly curved upwards towards the tips. It doesn't look so obviously triangular such as the Mirage 2000 for instance.

    • @trainedwarrior502
      @trainedwarrior502 7 лет назад +1

      I do like wings that are raked upward at the tips, like the F-4 Phantom but I just don't appreciate triangular wings..

    • @martincourtenay-blake5792
      @martincourtenay-blake5792 7 лет назад

      I know exactly what you mean. Probably the only delta winged aircraft that have look "right" are Concorde and the Vulcan, both of which have complex curved leading edges. I have the same feelings about the stealth aircraft....to me they are just too geometric.

    • @ArcturanMegadonkey
      @ArcturanMegadonkey  5 лет назад

      Oh they know alright! one of the model pilots that fly with us operates a Typhoon from the same base this was filmed at and he says he always has a look over to the people taking photo's or filming and gives a way, most of his fellow crew mates are the same.

    • @D0csavage1
      @D0csavage1 5 лет назад

      Interesting. I wonder if practising for future possible drone flying as well as a social activity? It's nice to know that in a state of readiness they acknowledge the presence of enthusiasts and not ignorant of the fact. One of my questions I pondered over for years, now answered. Thank you.

    • @ArcturanMegadonkey
      @ArcturanMegadonkey  5 лет назад

      The drone piloting is done at RAF Waddington so doubt they practice for it at this base

    • @D0csavage1
      @D0csavage1 5 лет назад

      I meant the pilot maybe having an interest in drone flying as to the reason for an interest. Models as in RC aircraft? As I understand this will be the route the oldest airforce in the world will take to enable pilot -less fighter jets make manoeuvres that are not possible with a pilot on board. As far as I know the Eurofighter is restricted by the G's that a pilot can sustain. Forgive me if I am talking utter rubbish :)

    • @ArcturanMegadonkey
      @ArcturanMegadonkey  5 лет назад

      You're not talking rubbish so don't worry.
      The Typhoon pilot who flies model aircraft with us just has a fascination with all aircraft be that full size of model

    The Tornados were all landing I think, the only afterburners were from Typhoons. Personally, I grew up watching English Electric Lightnings take off in Vertical Climbs, that was Impressive too.
    Lightning F3 XR749/Q. This is the one that intercepted a U2 from above, at 82,000 feet if I remember and overtook a Concorde at Mach 2.2.
