@stephenpprice excuse me. I did not made a comment on the clip I just said I've seen them flying lower than that. And yes no one likes a smartass. learn to read.
Lossie mouth Scottish airbase, the RAF use the Welsh mountians and Scottish mountians for practice. Although why this is cool is beyond me. High speed pass is low skill a stall turn in a Su -27 is high skill though!
Yes. Tell me of something that requires little or no skill that is "cool". Perhaps throwing flour over a relative for no reason is "cool" or amusing. Your channel is weak, poor, bereft of talent.
I never said that was cool. Nor do I ever upload videos. I never tried to be cool. Unlike you, who has obviously spent a fair amount of time making awesome animations. 320 channel views, fuck me. And there's me, the casual youtube user who uploads nothing, with way over double that. I was just saying to the original dork that this video was a Tornado flying a few feet above the ground at hundreds of miles an hour, which undoubtedly IS cool.
@spamtree As previously mentioned, not really no, I did mention the cobra stall turn, Su 27. you tube it, Lynx helicopter the only helicopter in production for many a year that can loop, C 130 stoop landing ALL these items are rare, UNUSUAL for an aircraft to perform. A GR4 which I think this may well be flying low level is a time killer at best banal at worst.
@ednuttah A Tornado doing its thing at low level IS cool....You need to check your pulse...Besides, if you dont like this stuff, then why are you watching it? But you are right, low level is not that skilful, but thats not the argument is it?.......ITS COOL.....Are cartoons usin Solid Works cool? dont thnk so. Fuck me, I draw in CAD all day..its a fuckin bind...I dont go home and say, fuck me, Ive had a really cool day.
@EnglishTurbines Mainly because I used to go to Conningsby for camps with the atc I was searching for 29F but this was at the top of the list. Whether or not this is cool is just opinion. I think its weak but I don't really care. Cartoons? If you WERE involved in any way shape or form with CAD you wouldn't call it cartoons. If you find it a bind change your job you fool.
@ednuttah As a lifelong Engineer I design stuff in CAD all the time, but its only just ONE of the things I do. I enjoy it, but its time consuming designing in metal. Making video clips using Solid Works is not my idea of fun at all, definately not cool. But then as you say...cool is just an opinion and I agree.....See... I didnt say Cartoon this time.... So, to sum up, if you think a GR4 is banal at low level, then fine. But others can have their opinion too...you said so yourself.
@ednuttah I have to do the CAD stuff to get it made in metal, its the satisfaction of seeing my design come to life in metal afterwards that I enjoy, sorry didnt make it very clear did I....
what information do you base that conclusion on? as the Tornado is a very different roled aircraft to the Typhoon, and they are both very different to the role undertaken by the Falcon
What the hell would you know 'RifledBarrel' ? Spent a bit of time flying the Tornado and other fast jets have you ? Perhaps you're an experience test pilot and have an intimate knowledge of the flight test regimes of both the Tornado and F-16 ? Yes - No ? Is 'pile of shit' a technical term you use to describe the flight characteristics and battle space performance of each aircraft type ? I'd be interested to learn of you experience and technical qualifications ?? Over to you ...
was this in lossiemouth? i have been to the exact same place and stood exactly where you guys are standing! didn't have a low flyby though :( just watched some standard sorties.
i got treated to a low flyby at the head of the river tilt/Dee in the Grampians, couldn't have been over 60 of the deck, heard a faint whistle about 1.5 seconds before the fly over, then the thunder
Why wont pilots this crazy take a fully loaded passenger plane to area 51 and expose it? maybe with Journalists with a live satelite feed on board! if an agency were to shoot that down what do you think teh families of the 300+ passangers would do?
Please someone give me some feed back on this its been an idea of mine since i was very young.
Well done the Tornado is decades old. What do you expect? Gives your country a little ego boost does it boasting that their state of the art planes are better than some of the oldest we have in service?
I take it you're an American. We don't have as much money to spend on our Air Force as you do, but even though you may dwarf us in size, you have jack shit in terms of reputation. You never hear how the Americans bombed Dresden to the ground, how the Americans helped liberate the Falklands with bombing on Port Stanley, or the Americans bursting the Rhineland dams in the most famous bomber squadron ever, 617 Squadron. The RAF has done all of these, and has succeeded in all of them.
amen to that! America is all for big show and dont care about the detail. Britain thought it out and actually took some time to be accurate before europe stuck its nose in and closed all the industry down
Well, though I'd prefer to fly for the home team (RAAF), theres no point denying that the RAF probably has the proudest history of any Airforce anywhere in the world. If it were as simple as "F-22 vs the rest", why would you operate the Harrier? Isn't that an old fighter, and designed by the UK? What your airforce has in size, it lacks in credibility, innovation and humility. You'd be surprised how your F-15 and famed Aggressor sqn fared against the aged SHAR
An American air superiority fighter developed 20 years after the multirole Tornado is "better" and more expensive? Well, that's certainly surprising news! Do our country's already poor reputation a favor by smashing your network card.
As for the America-haters: continue conveniently forgetting those RAF F-4s (or RAAF F-111s/F-18s) you flew for years, daylight bombing over Germany, that minor Pacific Theatre sideshow, and the imminent RAF F-35 purchase.
I'm not an 'America-hater', I never posted any hateful remarks. I haven't forgotten what we use, the F-111 is a bad example for your purposes though, but we've enjoyed the Hornet. I never said American aircraft were poor either, I merely pointed out that such a cheap comparison between aircraft can be made to the advantage of both, though meaningless. Also, by its very definition, the F-35 isn't an american fighter because of foreign contribution, not least of all BAE - a major design partner.
They are some good points, however, the F35 is a joint project with BAE contributing significant technological knowhow. Of course LM is the major contractor, but it is a little silly to suggest that the F35 is purely an American project. BTW the RN is looking at perhaps aquiring the dassault rafale instead of the overcost behind schedule F35.
Considering the Royal Air Force is for the defence of the "United Kingdom" and Scotland is a part of that, You're insulting your own defence force .... Pretty much sums you up really.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
And why does scotland need an airforce to protect it we don t have to many countrys that are waiting to bomb us. Just like we don t need thousands of British soliders based here and the trident nuclear subs which go around crashing in to french subs, a mean they only weight 30000 tonnes only 300 feet long cant be that hard to see.
Your a moron. Your are part of Britain then you say why do you have British troops stationed there. If Britain didnt exist and English troops were in Scotland then fair enough. So stop going on about it. Also another one of your own questioned you answered... Think its easy to pilot 30,000 tonnes of steel through water? Dickhead.
Its quite hard to see a submarine when your so many meters under the surface, and inside another submarine. It is quite hard to see through solid metal and open water... surprisingly.
"a mean they only weight 30000 tonnes only 300 feet long cant be that hard to see. "
They´re also hundreds of feet under water and so silent when they want to that you will have more luck finding them b searching of areas under the sea that are *quieter* than normal.
And see? Last time I checked, submarines did not have fucking windows.
fukn jughead.. ofcourse a tornado can go supersonic, mach 2 at altitude. and no that flyby was nowhere near supersonic, if it was u wouldnt hear it till it passes the camera and when it does the shockwave would break the lens. fukn idiots
the best place ive seen this is at school coz its near a RAF bass and they show off to us and spin and come back and 4th on mondays we wnt to meet the guy who is flying it on a school trip and he says he makes us jump when he comes past real low and fast and he did it the folloing monday . its so cool
flying over land, by law an aircraft can only go supersonic over the sea, i also confirm the Tornado F2,F3,GR1,GR2,GR4 can all go Mach 2+ at altitude and mach 1.6 at seal level. I spent time working with tornados. You who seems to think the Tonka can't break the sound barrier is a clues moron who can't work with them as he hasn't the IQ or the credibility.
definitely i agree the windows would have been blown out from the tower some planes are not suitable to brake sound barrier. maybe that one was supersonic but probably he didnt fly with top speed
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no most common planes are not supersonic, i dont even think the f22 is supersonic, you need to have a special rod on the nose to make sure ur plane doesnt get ripped apart at supersonic speeds
a special rod? what are you talking about? The f22 is supersonic.. most new planes can cruise at mach pretty easy now. You need swept wings so the shock waves don't rip it apart.. but never heard of a rod
the higher you go the slower that sound travels making it slightly easier to travel faster than "the speed of sound" however even if you get a boom you may still not be traveling the speed of sound. bit this is such a small difference that in the scale of things it makes no difference.
the other factor is the higher you go the more difficulty your engine has supplying it's self with enough oxygen so the less thrust you get. so the higher the faster to but to a limit. + tornado has a great range
Because his flying over land, by law an aircraft can only go supersonic over the sea, i also confirm the Tornado F2,F3,GR1,GR2,GR4 can all go Mach 2+ at altitude and mach 1.6 at seal level. I spent work with tornados. The bloke who seems to think the Tonka can't break the sound barrier is a clues moran who can't work with them as he hasn't the IQ.

'Moran'? I think it's 'moron', guy. And I pretty much agree with ya on your sentiment. Personally, being biased as I am towards American jets, your Tornado is the only foreign jet I respect as much as them.

And why does scotland need an airforce to protect it we don t have to many countrys that are waiting to bomb us. Just like we don t need thousands of British soliders based here and the trident nuclear subs which go around crashing in to french subs, a mean they only weight 30000 tonnes only 300 feet long cant be that hard to see.

Your a moron. Your are part of Britain then you say why do you have British troops stationed there. If Britain didnt exist and English troops were in Scotland then fair enough. So stop going on about it. Also another one of your own questioned you answered... Think its easy to pilot 30,000 tonnes of steel through water? Dickhead.

Its quite hard to see a submarine when your so many meters under the surface, and inside another submarine. It is quite hard to see through solid metal and open water... surprisingly.

"a mean they only weight 30000 tonnes only 300 feet long cant be that hard to see. "
They´re also hundreds of feet under water and so silent when they want to that you will have more luck finding them b searching of areas under the sea that are *quieter* than normal.
And see? Last time I checked, submarines did not have fucking windows.

a no theres 1 at weinfleet but iv been told theres another witch you can see in themountains cus of a big target bord.
arbitar222 3 years ago
fukn jughead.. ofcourse a tornado can go supersonic, mach 2 at altitude. and no that flyby was nowhere near supersonic, if it was u wouldnt hear it till it passes the camera and when it does the shockwave would break the lens. fukn idiots

the best place ive seen this is at school coz its near a RAF bass and they show off to us and spin and come back and 4th on mondays we wnt to meet the guy who is flying it on a school trip and he says he makes us jump when he comes past real low and fast and he did it the folloing monday . its so cool

Was this at tain ranges near RAF Lossiemoth and RAF Kinloss ? i was at tain last week and we got 2 amazing flypasses 1 was 50ft above the tower !!

flying over land, by law an aircraft can only go supersonic over the sea, i also confirm the Tornado F2,F3,GR1,GR2,GR4 can all go Mach 2+ at altitude and mach 1.6 at seal level. I spent time working with tornados. You who seems to think the Tonka can't break the sound barrier is a clues moron who can't work with them as he hasn't the IQ or the credibility.
grimson7788 3 years ago
If he was supersonic you would have only heard it after it went past and the windows would have been blown out of the tower lol
666nocturnal666 3 years ago 2
definitely i agree the windows would have been blown out from the tower some planes are not suitable to brake sound barrier. maybe that one was supersonic but probably he didnt fly with top speed

no most common planes are not supersonic, i dont even think the f22 is supersonic, you need to have a special rod on the nose to make sure ur plane doesnt get ripped apart at supersonic speeds
stormfox1 3 years ago
no, the cruising speed of the f-22 is mach 2.4. And you don't need a special rod at the front of the plane. Where did u get your bogus info from?
Preytor13 3 years ago
"no, the cruising speed of the f-22 is mach 2.4"
Sorry, but no. Mach 2.4 is top speed with full afterburners. Top cruise speed for the Raptor is "just" Mach 1.7 or 1.8.

a special rod? what are you talking about? The f22 is supersonic.. most new planes can cruise at mach pretty easy now. You need swept wings so the shock waves don't rip it apart.. but never heard of a rod

the higher this plane goes the faster it goes air is less dense at 30000 feet and yes it does go super sonic
JjOoNnNnYyBb 3 years ago
the higher you go the slower that sound travels making it slightly easier to travel faster than "the speed of sound" however even if you get a boom you may still not be traveling the speed of sound. bit this is such a small difference that in the scale of things it makes no difference.
the other factor is the higher you go the more difficulty your engine has supplying it's self with enough oxygen so the less thrust you get. so the higher the faster to but to a limit. + tornado has a great range

'Moran'? I think it's 'moron', guy. And I pretty much agree with ya on your sentiment. Personally, being biased as I am towards American jets, your Tornado is the only foreign jet I respect as much as them.
