mutley 4,495 Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Nice shots Joe and i think you have stretched my monitor :clap: steve Sorry Steve! I didn't realise until after I had uploaded that they were full size so I amended the title so people would know. Actually they will help me with some forum development, you remember when we moved over to V3 of the forum software that we had problem with picture size sizing? The forum seemed to cope with these and did not crop them. Anyhew, back to normal size after these. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,495 Posted April 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Thanks again! Great shots there Mut!Where's the scenery from? Kieran It is payware, here you go http://visualflight.info/products/farnborough you may notice some of my screenshots there as well on the product page, the ones of the Typhoon in Red Arrows colours. I don't half get around!! Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
fighterpilot 0 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 is the typhoon the next aircraft for red arrows? they had the hawk before. and even before that, I think it was the gnat. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I doubt the Red Arrows will shift to the Typhoon anytime soon. Military flight demo teams rarely use the top-line AC unless it happens to be a type that is produced in very high volume, e.g. the F-16 and the FA-18, and before that the F-4. I don't expect that the Typhoon will be produced in large enough numbers that six or more can be sacrificed to a demo team. They are more likely to use older, lower performance types with good low-speed characteristics and lower maintenance costs. The more expensive, more sophisticated, larger types are usually shown off at the airshows in ones and twos by active squadron pilots. I've seen single aircraft flight demos of the F-15 and the F-14 that put on a more dramatic show than the Thunderbirds or the Blue Angels. The demo teams are a showcase of grace and precision - the one ship flight demos are more about speed and noise. A year and a half ago I watched a one man demo of an F-15 at NAS Jacksonville. We were near the far end of the flight line and he did a quite low, high speed pass up the runway coming toward our end. Nearing the end he cut to his right, directly over us, then selected burners and pulled straight up. I could FEEL the noise through my feet on the concrete ramp. You'll never get anything like that from the multi-ship demo teams. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 That must have sounded great John, the B2 did it for me last year at RIAT :clap: BTW the Typhoon is obviously a fantasy repaint, I think the Hawk has got a long way to go yet. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
