I live here in the channel islands. We are 1 of 5 islands in the British Isles, Jersey is the biggest of them at 46 square miles. 14 miles from France and 182 miles from London
The real Jersey (or should I say, the first Jersey) is in the Channel Islands which are part of Britain. As Jersey has only one airport and 87000 people and is pretty small, and Ground wun too wun decimal nine sounded very English to me, and the Red Arrows are Britain based, it is probably going to be Jersey, Channel Islands.
A quick Google (you'll type more letters in the comment than in that) reveals that the Red Arrows are regulars
If my grand grandparents were not surrenders , if they had been surrenders in WWI 1917 , now both you & any french frog would speak the krauts' language more than you're doing actually ....D ! cheers

yeah right what do you actualy know about aircraft? the blue angels and thunderbirds fly more advanced jets than the hawk trainers that the red arrows fly, which have no guidance systems or radar, so when the aircraft are in formation 4 ft apart the only thing which tells them where the other aircraft in the formation are is the pilots eyesight and skill. this along with the syncro pair, makes the red arrows the best display team in the world. as a pilot myself i tip my hat to them.
You make it seem as thought the entire time the Blue Angels or the Thunderbirds are doing a demonstration they have the autopilot engaged. This couldnt be farther from the truth. As you said "The only thing which tells them where theother aircraft in the formation are is the pilots eyesight and skill." Well the same is true for American demonstration teams. While they do fly larger, more technically advanced aircraft, the methods used are still the same.
Some of us Americans also take pride in lack of capitalisation of proper nouns and misspelling the word "bastard". All these pilots are great, otherwise they wouldn't be doing what they're doing.
hey basterd, we americans take pride in are aviation since we are the orginal founders. %0 dollars says that the blue angels and the thunder birds can easaly hold a formation better then the arrows
I saw them come into JFK Airport back in the early seventies from Brookville park in Rosedale Queens NY and they came in line abreast but i always wanted to know how they all got on the runway, very good.
Those experiences are what made me choose a career as a pilot which is what I worked as until, of course, 9/11.
LOL nice one "orhanjudas" they are using the aircraft used to train fighter pilots...the Hawk. That thing is far to look like a tornado...I had a good laugh over your reply "orhanjudas", no offense.
What's so scary then? If you think the hawks were a bit low, you should try sitting at the end of RAF Lossiemouths runway. Not only is it just as close, the resident Tornado GR4's are bigger, faster, louder and often carry weapons too. I guess there are other airfields that have similar paths too. Big deal, not scary at all.
I've been to Jersey quite a few times and am amazed that this footpath went so near the runway! You can see the road that goes up the east side of the airfield to St Peters and it is miles away!
i think generally ppl are getting pissed off with the american ppl wrting about how they are the best and the biggest super power but really when it comes down to it america have caused more problems than solved in the last 4 serious wars they entered. If it wasnt for japan attacking when they did, america might have not got involved and germany could be running the world right now..... just shows that america wasn't really an ally back then until they felt the wrath of war.
Im studying a history degree in England. The US support in world war two both economically and militarily was essential to any allied success. It could be argued that during the war the british paid with strategy, the americans with money and the russians with blood.
Arguments about if we could do it or not without the Americans are rubbish - we would have eventually been invaded without their support - only the Russians could have saved us in the end without America.
newmanboy.... the red arrows are based at RAF scampton. just down the road from me its in Lincolnshire, not sure where they do trials for new team members somewhere abroad...anyway point is they are based in scampton, read official sites and listen to the local yocal - me ;)
ok Mr. Wiseguy - so what? just because they are flying there does not mean they are based there. Quoute from the official homepage of the Reds (FAQ section):
""The Team have been based at Royal Air Force Scampton in Lincolnshire since 2001. In the past they have also been based at Royal Air Force Fairford and Royal Air Force Kemble in Gloucestershire, and Royal Air Force College Cranwel in Lincolnshire.""
- so...I cant see the word 'Bournemouth' there...you cant even spell it correctly. LOL
That wasn't scary. The airplanes were where they should have been. You should have tried filming when some student pilots were trying to do their first solo landings. That would have been scary.
What the hell as this video got to do with the USAF? Do i have to remind you this is the best of British, after all it was us that built things like Concord, Harrier jump jet and many other aircraft that out pace America. After all it was even the British that gave you the enjection seat as you yanks kept crashing all the time. tut tut
i agree and im american, the blue angels also suck ass i spent 15 months in the uk and i made sure i saw 2 shows i adored watching the red arrows and im a pilot i dont like watching air displays bc i always see fault i saw NOT ONE FAULT !! they are very talanted pilots ..
However we do have better aircraft .. but then im gonna stick up for my country's AF lol ..
Good on you, navybabejz, no idea why someone gave you a thumbs-down (although I have a feeling I know who did it - darththc?). I have cancelled it with a thumbs-up. I'm no pilot, but I'm sure the Blue Angels don't really suck ass. And yes, the US undoubtedly has better aircraft than the UK (and more of them). Right, I'm off to bait your compatriot again now...
I enjoy watching both the reds and the blues but I must admit, I remember watching a blue display and it was horrendously sloppy compared to the reds. I care not if they're British, American or whatever, sloppy flying is sloppy flying.
Interesting thought for you though...the blues fly in far pricier planes, would you prefer cheaper planes in greater numbers (like the arrows) or stay with a few expensive fighters?
i think the problem with the blue angles is that they think getting the biggest dirtiest plane will make them a great aerobatic display team but they didnt think it through but the hawk is pretty much the perfect plane for displays because its so manouvarable and yeah the blues are a bit dodgy with there flying there moves are pretty boring too whereas the red arrows are just daredevil like and i could watch them all day...mate amen to your comment \m/
man ive done a few responses now eh? this one is for lovemehatemeLOLZ: did you know that the harrier is actually rubbish, the american developed JSE is something to look out for, top of the line technology. and as for old planes the americans have the B29, B24 Mustang... lots.... but yeah i love the spitfires and lancasters ;) hehe
The harrier "was" not rubbish, many a time ago it was the forefront of 3 dimensional technology, first discovered with the Rolls Royce "Flying Bedstead" - it was an absolute marvel of engineering!
Perhaps not now, but heh each to their own - I only fly a pesky PA28 but thats good enough for me.
yeah my attitude to the harrier does put up strong arguments. i agree ~(as an engineer in training) that the harrier was a marvel for its time.... i just never like "rampies" =D. i hope for the navy to develop a catapult like the U.S. carriers have. thanks for the comment back on a old post ;-)
You're right Ybot88...But most aerobatic teams such as the Red Arrows (Frecce Tricolori, patrouille de France, Snowbirds, etc.) use low-powered yet highly manoeuvrable military training jets while the Blue Angels use F-18 multirole fighters which are more powerful but less manoeuvrable and more dangerous to fly in formation.
I live in Jersey and im fairly certain I was on that footpath when this was filmed, as for scary I don't think it comes through too well on the video, and it was more of a Adrenaline rush than actual fear. Seeing the Tornado take off and hearing it when it was directly infront of us was i think a better experience, probably just for the noise if nothing else.
Some idiot decided that they won't be part of the 2012 Olympic opening ceremony as they said its 'too British'. Isn't the whole point of hosting the Olympics in Britain to aid the promotion of the British nation and its an opportunity for every nation who hosts it to put thier mark on the games that will be remembered forever. A petition needs starting!
They're not cancelled, stop believing everything you read in The Scum. They were originally not going to take part because Olympic guidelines state that the military should not play a part, until someone pointed out that in 200 the Australians closed the games with one of their jets.
The reds landing wasn't scary at all and secondly he shouldn't have stood so close to the runway- By the way i have a question...How did he even manage to get so close to the runway?
The footpath used to cross from one side of the airport field to the other between the start of the runway and the approach lights, but has been removed since, possibly for security reasons.
The RAF are by far the best, i knew i guy who was in a bomb training exercise, and he dropped the bomb and then he dived down and flew next to it when it was flying towards the ground at high speed.- NOW THAT IS TECHNICAL FLYING- Blue angels SUCK
i won't speak to the superiority of the reds over the blues, but when you say raf is the best, your forget that usaf is the most technologicaly advanced air force on earth and is vastley superior to any single nations air force. raf is good, sure. but usaf dominates, and thats not from bumb luck.
I realise that the usaf have the most technology and probabily the best technology, but what i mean is that the RAF have the best talent at flying fast jets or any other aircraft, i have never seen the usaf in action, but i'm sure their good because they probabily have to train hard, and the USA also have the best places to train. The UK sucks for that and if i could i would live in the US because its such a good country. USA is also one of the powerful countrys in the world.
well thanks, but i'm sure how "good" we are anymore, or if there is really "countries" these days. we should start calling them companies, because thats who really owns and operates them.
the usaf spend a hell of a lot more money than the raf plus many designers are british as well as american. there is no best or any way to make a comparison. More american pilots have died statistically so you must base your opinion on?
the fact that more american pilots are flying missions, maybe? i agree there is no comparison, no air force in the world could stand against the usaf. i understand that no one wants to admit their country isn't the best at anything, but it's not like this is a subjective topic. the usaf can take and hold ANY air space on earth, can raf make that claim?
actually you are totally wrong about technically advanced. We dont even know what the russian military has been doing for the last 60 years for starters also given that the british german and italians collaborated in making even higher advanced technology. That includes the computer systems being part of the raf, which is more advanced than any american plane.
ummm... sure. and i guess we're sharing the jsf because we want to dillute european millitary technology. russia spent itself broke and is still struggling to rise out of that ash heap. and what advance plane do the british have that is invisible to radar and uses vectored thrust? is that the harrier? no? what else you guys flying? your going to have to vette those statements, and if we don't have to back what we say, then..........
At the end of the day th RAF kills the USAF, were better at everything from drill all the way to display teams.. those thunderbirds claim to be the american version on the RedArrows... thats just an insult to ANY nations display teams... even the italians are better at display than the UASF :|
ya sure, i'm sorry, ah... the last time i check it was globally accepted that america is the undisputed ruler of the skies. look around the room your in, likely you will find a box like object with buttons on it(you might know this thing as a telly). turn it on around 5 or 6 pm and take note of the news, listen long enough and you'll hear someone from you own country say the same thing. you are correct, our thunderbirds are flying some pretty old stuff, but i didn't know play = air
True - and if you include the USAF's unerring ability to fire on its allies (remember that A-10 knocking out a British infantry unit a couple of years back in Iraq?), then you are the undisputed masters of the air. Maybe it would be better for everyone if you stayed at home, I can't think of a single conflict in the past few decades that you haven't ballsed-up. It's all on telly here.
no doubt, but i'm sure your guys make mistakes also. shit happens, especially in war, but you know as well as i do that you guys benifit greatly from america's air power, and don't complain when it's in your favor. i can definitely see circumstances in which jolly ol' england would rather us not stay home. it's happened before(you know what i'm talking about don't make me say "it") and it could happen again. unfortunately it might be our fault next time, so i'll apologize in advance.
Your keyboard seems to lack a shift key, darththc. And there are two 'e's in the word benefit. You should know this as you probably have to claim it so often.
You're right about the last thing though - the only explanation I can find for the US's foreign policy at the moment is that you want to make up for being late for the last two world wars by being really punctual this time around. Dickhead.
this isn't english class, so fuck the shift key. if you want grade papers, teach a course.
the only benefit i can find is the amount of laughter i get listening to you brits. about the wars, i asked you not to make me say it. we weren't late, it wasn't our fight (until someone made it our fight, but there's something hinkey about that story also). we saved your ass, and if it happened again you would need your ass saved again. lets not forget what happened, it's not "dickheaded", it's history.
Wasn't it the Japanese that made it your fight when they all but wiped out your Pacific fleet while you were half asleep? Before that you seemed to be more than happy to let Britain and the Soviet Union take the strain while you decided whose side to be on. For three years.
Ever since then you have repeatedly tried the shock and awe tactics and got your own asses kicked out of Vietnam, Somalia etc. etc. Sad, really.
so true, as a mater of fact our current president's family made there initial fortunes supporting hitler. but what about the colonies you got your asses kicked out of? didn't they span the globe? and as i recall WE kicked YOUR asses out, so what's your point. all empires rise and fall, your's did. so will ours in time. but right now, who's the super power?
Yes, we all have a great deal to be proud of. So perhaps shooting your mouth off on YouTube in the first place wasn't such a good idea, eh? Over and out. Work to do, and all that, old chap.
ya i guess you guys would have got out of ww2 by yourselves. i mean you were doing so well when we can along, i suppose you're lucky we didn't completely screw that up for you guys.
i'm sure we could have stayed home and you would have been fine. i mean i always think to myself, things arn't really going our way until they bomb our capital, so i can see what you mean. i'm sorry, i spoke out of turn (dripping sarcasm implied).
does it matter? that wasn't the case? what if england had developed an atomic bomb? what if france wasn't a bunch of candy asses? what if hitler hadn't bitten off more than he could chew? what if monkeys fly out of my ass. hypotheticals are fun and all, but that doesn't change what happened. woody seems to have a skewed version of history and seems to believe some rather silly ideas about both brittan and america. but it's fashionable to hate us these days, so i guess truth is mute.
rbccspb is giving us brits a bad name, to be honest i welcome our american allies, as you said shit happens in war, i dont like the friendly killing nor do i see the benifit from your air support when we brung our own (you shot a chopper our down too lol) like i said its not your air support we benifit from, we both benifit from the whole alliance =), discard rbccspb and his spelling fettish. not all brits are as pathetic as him ;)
i kinda figured, but i seem to have a way of getting under peoples skin, so i don't really hold it agains him or any brits. lets face usa isn't that popular right now anyway.lol.
your comments make me laugh hysterically, granted the US might be a "SUPERPOWER"... but of what? as far as I can see its the global economy and look what a mess you constantly make of that especially considering the good old US of A are in debt to china for approx. two and a half trillion dollars. Me thinks you all live under false premises and ideals. Before you start another reply, yes the UK live in america's shadow but who's shadow are you in...
@tomazza99 I am an American. I am also a pilot. I can't stand the constant idiocy put forth by our "leaders" over here. Our national debt is something that I worry about every day (I am a business student). Please do not lump us all together as a mess of fools that "live under false premises and ideals." I am very conscious of the condition of our nation and the varying opinions of it. But your rash generalization is parallel in ignorance to those made by many other individuals here.
actually you are totally wrong about technically advanced. We dont even know what the russian military has been doing for the last 60 years for starters also given that the british german and italians collaborated in making even higher advanced technology. That includes the computer systems being part of the raf, which is more advanced than any american plane.
Judging the USAs record in recent wars if it was the US Airforce maybe a very scary landing but this is the British RAF...if it was US personel flying them you'd have probably been bombed bluefunkybassman...
Umm - maybe the fact that they were landing right over our heads and, being single-engined aircraft, an engine failure on final approach could have been disastrous for us.
lol, having seen the Reds dozens of times I can say there is no way this is scary. 'right over our heads' - damn what did you expect standing under the runway? if you are scared by this dont stand in the flightpath...

no they aint i live in southampton wich is near bournmouth and they fly over my house all the time
newmanboy2k7 3 years ago
ok Mr. Wiseguy - so what? just because they are flying there does not mean they are based there. Quoute from the official homepage of the Reds (FAQ section):
""The Team have been based at Royal Air Force Scampton in Lincolnshire since 2001. In the past they have also been based at Royal Air Force Fairford and Royal Air Force Kemble in Gloucestershire, and Royal Air Force College Cranwel in Lincolnshire.""
- so...I cant see the word 'Bournemouth' there...you cant even spell it correctly. LOL

they are in Jersey for an air display, they stay at the Airport when they perform in the Jersey air display and also for the Guernsey air display.

That wasn't scary. The airplanes were where they should have been. You should have tried filming when some student pilots were trying to do their first solo landings. That would have been scary.

What the hell as this video got to do with the USAF? Do i have to remind you this is the best of British, after all it was us that built things like Concord, Harrier jump jet and many other aircraft that out pace America. After all it was even the British that gave you the enjection seat as you yanks kept crashing all the time. tut tut

i love the red arrows they're such good planes and have amazing formations
the blue angels are atck yand never fly in a formation without only having 4 planes
the RAF is better then the USAF far
becasue
1.we have such a good plane...the harrier we have amde a plane that can land and take off by hovering such good technology
2.we have such fmaous old planes america dont u may have the f-86 old very old we have the spitfire old old old very old!

i agree and im american, the blue angels also suck ass i spent 15 months in the uk and i made sure i saw 2 shows i adored watching the red arrows and im a pilot i dont like watching air displays bc i always see fault i saw NOT ONE FAULT !! they are very talanted pilots ..
However we do have better aircraft .. but then im gonna stick up for my country's AF lol ..

Good on you, navybabejz, no idea why someone gave you a thumbs-down (although I have a feeling I know who did it - darththc?). I have cancelled it with a thumbs-up. I'm no pilot, but I'm sure the Blue Angels don't really suck ass. And yes, the US undoubtedly has better aircraft than the UK (and more of them). Right, I'm off to bait your compatriot again now...

Thumbs up for you, sir!
I enjoy watching both the reds and the blues but I must admit, I remember watching a blue display and it was horrendously sloppy compared to the reds. I care not if they're British, American or whatever, sloppy flying is sloppy flying.
Interesting thought for you though...the blues fly in far pricier planes, would you prefer cheaper planes in greater numbers (like the arrows) or stay with a few expensive fighters?
V12GBY 3 years ago
i think the problem with the blue angles is that they think getting the biggest dirtiest plane will make them a great aerobatic display team but they didnt think it through but the hawk is pretty much the perfect plane for displays because its so manouvarable and yeah the blues are a bit dodgy with there flying there moves are pretty boring too whereas the red arrows are just daredevil like and i could watch them all day...mate amen to your comment \m/

razgriz333 3 years ago
The harrier "was" not rubbish, many a time ago it was the forefront of 3 dimensional technology, first discovered with the Rolls Royce "Flying Bedstead" - it was an absolute marvel of engineering!
Perhaps not now, but heh each to their own - I only fly a pesky PA28 but thats good enough for me.
PleaseStopChatting 3 years ago
yeah my attitude to the harrier does put up strong arguments. i agree ~(as an engineer in training) that the harrier was a marvel for its time.... i just never like "rampies" =D. i hope for the navy to develop a catapult like the U.S. carriers have. thanks for the comment back on a old post ;-)

george1510gd 3 years ago
You're right Ybot88...But most aerobatic teams such as the Red Arrows (Frecce Tricolori, patrouille de France, Snowbirds, etc.) use low-powered yet highly manoeuvrable military training jets while the Blue Angels use F-18 multirole fighters which are more powerful but less manoeuvrable and more dangerous to fly in formation.

I live in Jersey and im fairly certain I was on that footpath when this was filmed, as for scary I don't think it comes through too well on the video, and it was more of a Adrenaline rush than actual fear. Seeing the Tornado take off and hearing it when it was directly infront of us was i think a better experience, probably just for the noise if nothing else.

Some idiot decided that they won't be part of the 2012 Olympic opening ceremony as they said its 'too British'. Isn't the whole point of hosting the Olympics in Britain to aid the promotion of the British nation and its an opportunity for every nation who hosts it to put thier mark on the games that will be remembered forever. A petition needs starting!
stuigi99 4 years ago
They're not cancelled, stop believing everything you read in The Scum. They were originally not going to take part because Olympic guidelines state that the military should not play a part, until someone pointed out that in 200 the Australians closed the games with one of their jets.

The footpath used to cross from one side of the airport field to the other between the start of the runway and the approach lights, but has been removed since, possibly for security reasons.

The RAF are by far the best, i knew i guy who was in a bomb training exercise, and he dropped the bomb and then he dived down and flew next to it when it was flying towards the ground at high speed.- NOW THAT IS TECHNICAL FLYING- Blue angels SUCK
tomwickstead 4 years ago 2
i won't speak to the superiority of the reds over the blues, but when you say raf is the best, your forget that usaf is the most technologicaly advanced air force on earth and is vastley superior to any single nations air force. raf is good, sure. but usaf dominates, and thats not from bumb luck.
darththc 4 years ago
I realise that the usaf have the most technology and probabily the best technology, but what i mean is that the RAF have the best talent at flying fast jets or any other aircraft, i have never seen the usaf in action, but i'm sure their good because they probabily have to train hard, and the USA also have the best places to train. The UK sucks for that and if i could i would live in the US because its such a good country. USA is also one of the powerful countrys in the world.

Wildangelicaz 4 years ago
the fact that more american pilots are flying missions, maybe? i agree there is no comparison, no air force in the world could stand against the usaf. i understand that no one wants to admit their country isn't the best at anything, but it's not like this is a subjective topic. the usaf can take and hold ANY air space on earth, can raf make that claim?
darththc 4 years ago
actually you are totally wrong about technically advanced. We dont even know what the russian military has been doing for the last 60 years for starters also given that the british german and italians collaborated in making even higher advanced technology. That includes the computer systems being part of the raf, which is more advanced than any american plane.
Wildangelicaz 3 years ago 2
ummm... sure. and i guess we're sharing the jsf because we want to dillute european millitary technology. russia spent itself broke and is still struggling to rise out of that ash heap. and what advance plane do the british have that is invisible to radar and uses vectored thrust? is that the harrier? no? what else you guys flying? your going to have to vette those statements, and if we don't have to back what we say, then..........

superiority.
darththc 3 years ago
True - and if you include the USAF's unerring ability to fire on its allies (remember that A-10 knocking out a British infantry unit a couple of years back in Iraq?), then you are the undisputed masters of the air. Maybe it would be better for everyone if you stayed at home, I can't think of a single conflict in the past few decades that you haven't ballsed-up. It's all on telly here.

no doubt, but i'm sure your guys make mistakes also. shit happens, especially in war, but you know as well as i do that you guys benifit greatly from america's air power, and don't complain when it's in your favor. i can definitely see circumstances in which jolly ol' england would rather us not stay home. it's happened before(you know what i'm talking about don't make me say "it") and it could happen again. unfortunately it might be our fault next time, so i'll apologize in advance.
darththc 3 years ago
Your keyboard seems to lack a shift key, darththc. And there are two 'e's in the word benefit. You should know this as you probably have to claim it so often.
You're right about the last thing though - the only explanation I can find for the US's foreign policy at the moment is that you want to make up for being late for the last two world wars by being really punctual this time around. Dickhead.
rbccspb 3 years ago 2
this isn't english class, so fuck the shift key. if you want grade papers, teach a course.
the only benefit i can find is the amount of laughter i get listening to you brits. about the wars, i asked you not to make me say it. we weren't late, it wasn't our fight (until someone made it our fight, but there's something hinkey about that story also). we saved your ass, and if it happened again you would need your ass saved again. lets not forget what happened, it's not "dickheaded", it's history.
darththc 3 years ago
Wasn't it the Japanese that made it your fight when they all but wiped out your Pacific fleet while you were half asleep? Before that you seemed to be more than happy to let Britain and the Soviet Union take the strain while you decided whose side to be on. For three years.
Ever since then you have repeatedly tried the shock and awe tactics and got your own asses kicked out of Vietnam, Somalia etc. etc. Sad, really.

so true, as a mater of fact our current president's family made there initial fortunes supporting hitler. but what about the colonies you got your asses kicked out of? didn't they span the globe? and as i recall WE kicked YOUR asses out, so what's your point. all empires rise and fall, your's did. so will ours in time. but right now, who's the super power?

@tomazza99 I am an American. I am also a pilot. I can't stand the constant idiocy put forth by our "leaders" over here.

I am very conscious of the condition of our nation and the varying opinions of it. But your rash generalization is parallel in ignorance to those made by many other individuals here.
