Recommended Posts


Go on boys and girls show them how it's done :laugh: :laugh:

 

My daughter and myself were in a location in cumbria when two harriers passed us banking and both waving to my at the time 3 year old daughter. They then carried on up the lake took seperate lines around :db: the Hill :db: dissappeared round the back, crossed and both came back down the lake repeating the manouver and waving at us.

 

If you know where I'm talking about where they practice these manouvers please do not name the lake or area, I know it's not secret but no need to advertise it. Security and all that :thumbs:

 

 

Takes skill to fly under pylons :laugh: :laugh:

There's an artillery range a few miles round the coast on some cliffs where they test the rapier ground to air missiles. There usually live fire them at a remote control drone air craft, but now and again they hold non live firing targeting sessions with real military aircraft. I've seen all sorts flying there, from Hercules' to Eurofighters. A few years back I was working on a youth hostel a few hundred yards away from the place and they were flying a Tornado F3 at all sorts of speeds past the firing point. As we were sat outside eating our lunch, it done a few fast, close passes. It buggered off to set itself up for another run, and we couldn't see it. We heard it coming, getting louder and louder, and all of a sudden it appeared over the top of the cliff in a climb parallel with the cliff itself at god knows what speed, wings folded right back! I fecking shit myself fair play! :yes:

That typhoon (eurofighter) is the bollocks of a plane a member of my family was very involved in it and the technology used is astonishing. If the JSF ever gets off the ground it will surpas the euro by about 50 light years :laugh: :laugh: one to watch for the future

:yes: The JSF (F35 Lightning II) is going to be a beast of a plane, if we ever get it. The Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers the STOVL version are supposed to be based on are going to be mean bits of kit too. :yes:
