if anybody who has heard of the eurofighter but doesnt know wat it looks like, i pity you. this was the plane that all the small kids go nuts over. if you dont know this plane, you have no right to become a pilot
does anyone know wot the howl is it just the intake compression or just airframe design? they only seem to do it at certain speeds, never heard it at luechars so far? but they rarely pass at those speeds there
@bigvee93 It's the compressor, you'll notice it changes in pitch with throttle and you can compare the relatively high pitch of this to the low-buzz of a commercial airliner with it's big low speed fan.
It's a shame this sort of stuff wasn't known about 15 years ago. Can u imagine the amount of traffic that would of used this route back then..Buccaneers, f111s GR1s. If only I had my EOS and head screwed on back then??
seeing this brings it all back. having lived in the Welsh mountains (nr Lampeter) i used to see this all the time. one great time, i was on the highest point of the ridge i lived on above the river Tally. one Typhoon and, i couldn't believe, an F22 flew over. i was sitting on a huge rock so i waved when they passed. a few minutes later both planes came around again, swung around at my eye level, and i could see all four crewmen waving back! just brilliant.i
How do you know when a RAF aircraft is going to pass an area... is there a site I should visit? i would like to start up some photography of RAF aircraft but i dont know where to start?
@danGigantic it really is just down to luck on the day, planes dont fly through all the time, its a good idea to go on a day with good weather weekdays only, and you really must spend from 9;30am to 5;30pm to have a good chance to see much. defencecuts have reduced the amount of aircraft flying about. But on a nice sunny day its a pleasure sitting up there chatting with other aviation fans, even if nothing flys through.
@Wonkabar007 i dont know how it works over there, but in australia we have a pilot briefing service which provides NOTAMS that specify when and where military aircraft will be flying, its meant to be a precaution advising general and commercial flights. But you could use it for this purpose i suppose.
@danGigantic If I was the RAF I wouldn't start telling potential terrorists where I was going to be flying -or, since it's obvious where - *when*. Although the 'terrorist' threat has been vastly over-hyped, let's not delude ourselves. The Met police even referred to the 'Occupy' protesters as 'terrorists' in one training briefing. Why would that be, now? Because soon, democratic rights will be abolished? Be aware... and have fun plane-spotting whilst we're still allowed! ;-)
I've just had some typhoons doing a sortie over my house, in training for the Olympics when they're based at RAF Northolt... An amazing novelty when u live in Kent. :)

great video of this Jet! every pilot in this video does the same slightly move, is that maybe his reaction to the crowd who taking pictures, or is this valley tighter than it looks?
@trinimark123abc USAF is the best in the world! USA is the greatest country in the world! FACT LOOL what a dick, america only invades poor nations they are like the school yard bullys who pick only on the weak, i'd like to see america pick on a country that could give as good as it gets im from the UK and as an allie of the USA we are just to blame, but you guys one day will get a wakeup call
great video you should get yourself something like a Zoom Q3 just for your sound recording because it gives beautiful quality sound and that's what we wanna hear from these wonderful pieces of engineering especially that Vulcan and the Typhoon. P.S great location got to go there myself one day. how do you find out when stuff like this is happening?
@BattlefieldGuys Try the lowflymedia website, loads of info on there about the best spots to watch from, but always remember its down to luck on the day, if you see much, and they only fly on week days.
@BattlefieldGuys Go south along the A470 through Dolgellau, Pass signs for Brythdir and turn right at the Cross Foxes pub. It is this road in the video. I drove buses through that valley and the RAF take great pleasure in scaring the crap out of you when you are concentrating on your driving.
@BuildYourMind "to father" means to procreate or to sire a child from which also derives the gerund "fathering"stealth is not the brain child of Alan Brown there fore he is not the father of stealth.I don't know why that's so hard for you to understand.The germans were toying with stealth way before Alan brown.With or without a flying example the idea was theirs
Nice looking aircraft. I assume it can do more than fly through a valley? Several years ago I saw a F-22 flight demonstration at Mather Field near near Sacramento California. It was flying very low and doing some maneuvers that literally shocked me . The person below talking about American pilots getting beaten in competitions --I'd like to see some independent verification of that from impartial sources please.
@guyfihi When the F-22 did some displays in the UK it was amazing to see, but it didnt show the crowds its full capabilities, because some of it is classified, sure like to see those hidden moves.
@guyfihi Another dickhead comment from the USA, the country who thought they could fly to the Moon and back in a Baked Bean Tin, what a joke. You had your chance to prove what your jets could do when Concord was offered as a target and only the English Electric Lightning was able to catch up and overtake it, your heaps of scrap failed miserably. Your U2 spy plane was supposed to fly higher than anything else on the planet yet the E. E. Lightning flew above him at 88,000ft.
@guyfihi The account of USAF pilots getting 'beaten' by the Indian Air Force is mistaken - the point is that the Indians wouldn't use their Sukhois' radar at full combat setting for security reasons, so the US 'victories' meant nothing. The account of RAF Typhoons shooting down F-22s in mock combat is correct and was reported in International Air Power Review and was confirmed by an official USAF statement, with the excuse that the F-22s 'weren't fully stealthed' at the time.
@D1983r I suppose the difference is that the Indians' limited use of radar was an agreed part of the exercise (it was the same when they exercised with the RAF) whereas 'not fully stealthed', though presumably true - an aircraft is never stealthed when it uses its radar, after all - was something said afterwards.
@guyfihi Well your four trials aircraft were kicked repeatedly in 2002 at Red Flag by Sea Harrier F/A2s. How do I know? We were the squadron flying the Sea Harriers.
@MrMoorkey Red Flag isn't about winning, it's about training and preparing to fly large scale operations involving multiple nations. I do hope you were listening instead of being a smartass. Personally I prefer pilots who keep what they do low key instead of believing it makes their penis larger. You have a small penis right?
@damo4576 You've been talking to my wife, haven't you? (By the way, I'm not a pilot, I'm an engineer. Much more important. Without your engineer, whats a pilot? A sunglasses model.) Did I say Red Force WON? No. I said that your shiny new Tonka toy got it's ass whupped by a 20 year old aircraft. Four times.
@MrMoorkey Don't worry man, he's probably just some deadbeat, jealous that you work in such close proximity to these magnificent machines as you do! To be honest, I'm pretty jealous too ;)
@guyfihi This isnt a display, its a valley training run. just thought tou may be interested. as for competitions as far as im aware the Tornado still holds the record for Red Flag.
@guyfihi John P. Jumper, one of the highest ranking military men in the US (and who once played himself in stargate SG-1) stated that he had flown every modern fighter NATO has and still ranked the Typhoon in #1 spot ahead of both F-22 and F-35.
Mind you europe being europe we'll only probably build 2 of them.
Right, that's it. I need to get in on the action. I would happily live in a tent 27/4 just on the off chance of seeing this for myself. It's fucking beautiful.
I just love the sound of jets of any make, also i loved Concorde taking off and landing. Some how they make me feel alive and give me a great feeling of satisfaction. When I in go to Wales to visit Lou in the week i hear them,cant see them though,makes me so happy in side. I also like the sound of the Chinook helicopters-the heavy sound you hear before they fly over my house,the only shame is that my dogs are not that happy when any helicopter fly over the house
@trinimark123abc Why? F-22 has so many problems, why would you want to risk having one down that low? Smoking hole in the scenery! lol Plus the USAF doesn't like flying low, unless they are in A-10s... haha
@trinimark123abc And how, pray, is that? Britain has free healthcare, higher GDP per head (so we're richer per person), longer holidays, work shorter hours, our poor aren't as poor, no ghettos, we have much longer and greater history, the biggest empire of all time belonged to us, we've invented a lot more important stuff, the USA's founding principles are based on OUR constitution, most other countries (apart from France and Argentina) love us (the opposite for the USA.
@TyphoonDelta1 Ummm, NO... How come the USAF got stomped on exercises against the Indian Air Force, without them even using their best fighter (Su-30 MKI)? The RAF won both of the two recent exercises they had in India (both with the MKI in play!). Plus, 2 RAF Eurofighter Typhoons beat F-22s at NAS China Lake in exercises... Not to mention that the RAF are masters of low level combat missions...something that the USAF doesn't like to do. Go and play in your sandbox...
@TyphoonDelta1 The US military are SO big that they can't afford to put the same time and effort into training, or the same amount of money per man...it's just impractical. I'm not hating on the US, but that's a fact.
@samuraikensai Sorry mate I got the wrong end of the stick haha I thought u said the US was better trained than the UK..Im a brit too..I read your comment wrong :) I agree with everything u say !! UK forces are much better trained.
@samuraikensai actually my comment was meant for the other guy who said the USAF was the best..must av clicked the wrong reply box..no hard feelings :))
ive been at the top of the "idwal slabs" watched the eurofighter fly past, then seen it followed by a herc of some sort, also flying sideways through the narrow valley, epic sight to behole from above them hahaha
I toured Britain way back in the 80s, and riding a train into the valleys on the west side of Scotland, the coach was suddenly filled with the loudest roar I had ever heard - enough to make you cringe instinctively. "RAF Tornado" offered a fellow traveler, "they practice low level flying here all-" NNEEEEEEYYAAAAAARRRRHHHHOOooo! " -the time."
Nice bits of video. Don't know how you have the energy to climb up there. I know it's worth it, but hey, that's some climb, and in bad weather sometimes -for people that is, not the planes.
I once sat on the top of that hill with my two sons for hours watching several types of plane fly past, we looked down on any number of them, after a long pause a huge flying fortress came through the valley, and the pilot and co pilot waved to us, it was a great few hours.
I've seen these puppies at air shows give old people a cardiac arrest! This video cannot hope to show the sheer satanic thunderous ear emploding noise of a Typhoon Euro fighter... Shock and Awe and Permanent Tinitus!!
@jujitsuman68 Hah, im not good at explaining stuff, let me try over: When an objebt is moving faster then the speed of sound, it creats a Sonic Boom. When a fighter jet flies that fast, the sound comes with a BOOM!
In this case, the aircraft flew about 2/3 of the speed of sound, and thats why the BOOM wasnt that big.
where about's is this? exactly?

@guyfihi John P. Jumper, one of the highest ranking military men in the US (and who once played himself in stargate SG-1) stated that he had flown every modern fighter NATO has and still ranked the Typhoon in #1 spot ahead of both F-22 and F-35.
Mind you europe being europe we'll only probably build 2 of them.

@FatBlackFrancis F-22 is not a NATO aircraft lol. Or is he saying aircraft within NATO nations?

Right, that's it. I need to get in on the action. I would happily live in a tent 27/4 just on the off chance of seeing this for myself. It's fucking beautiful.

I just love the sound of jets of any make, also i loved Concorde taking off and landing. Some how they make me feel alive and give me a great feeling of satisfaction. When I in go to Wales to visit Lou in the week i hear them,cant see them though,makes me so happy in side. I also like the sound of the Chinook helicopters-the heavy sound you hear before they fly over my house,the only shame is that my dogs are not that happy when any helicopter fly over the house

@trinimark123abc Why? F-22 has so many problems, why would you want to risk having one down that low? Smoking hole in the scenery! lol Plus the USAF doesn't like flying low, unless they are in A-10s... haha

@trinimark123abc And how, pray, is that? Britain has free healthcare, higher GDP per head (so we're richer per person), longer holidays, work shorter hours, our poor aren't as poor, no ghettos, we have much longer and greater history, the biggest empire of all time belonged to us, we've invented a lot more important stuff, the USA's founding principles are based on OUR constitution, most other countries (apart from France and Argentina) love us (the opposite for the USA.

@TyphoonDelta1 Ummm, NO... How come the USAF got stomped on exercises against the Indian Air Force, without them even using their best fighter (Su-30 MKI)? The RAF won both of the two recent exercises they had in India (both with the MKI in play!). Plus, 2 RAF Eurofighter Typhoons beat F-22s at NAS China Lake in exercises... Not to mention that the RAF are masters of low level combat missions...something that the USAF doesn't like to do. Go and play in your sandbox...

@TyphoonDelta1 The US military are SO big that they can't afford to put the same time and effort into training, or the same amount of money per man...it's just impractical. I'm not hating on the US, but that's a fact.

I toured Britain way back in the 80s, and riding a train into the valleys on the west side of Scotland, the coach was suddenly filled with the loudest roar I had ever heard - enough to make you cringe instinctively. "RAF Tornado" offered a fellow traveler, "they practice low level flying here all-" NNEEEEEEYYAAAAAARRRRHHHHOOooo! " -the time."

Nice bits of video. Don't know how you have the energy to climb up there. I know it's worth it, but hey, that's some climb, and in bad weather sometimes -for people that is, not the planes.

I once sat on the top of that hill with my two sons for hours watching several types of plane fly past, we looked down on any number of them, after a long pause a huge flying fortress came through the valley, and the pilot and co pilot waved to us, it was a great few hours.

jujitsuman68 4 months ago
@jujitsuman68 Hah, im not good at explaining stuff, let me try over: When an objebt is moving faster then the speed of sound, it creats a Sonic Boom. When a fighter jet flies that fast, the sound comes with a BOOM!
In this case, the aircraft flew about 2/3 of the speed of sound, and thats why the BOOM wasnt that big.
