EADS Eurofighter Typhoon Intercepting a C-130 Hercules, Air Power 09

As part of the AirPower 09 Air Show the Austrian Air Force demonstrated a C-130 Hercules fly-by followed by a rapid takeoff of two Eurofighter Typhoon Jets which then had to intercept the C130 and force it to land. The vid is a bit shaky, I apologize for that :(

This kind of stuff puts American air shows to shame.

@1x8twist ...OK? I don't ever recall saying anything negative about the Eurofighter but since you want to be an asshole; your grammar sucks.

[1x8twist]

@EpiphoneSH4 you would not shot your mouth off in front of me. PS the euro fighter at best is 3rd gen get over it.

@EpiphoneSH4 Not if you attend Air Shows at Miramar MCAS, California. That shit is real.

@irongut12345 THIS WAS FUCKING FUNNY.

They should have flashing blue lights on the Typhoons. And a megaphone - "You in the plane! Pull Over!"

@Eltern10 Never stated any jet was better but I've yet to see an intercepting demonstration at a US airshow. Greetings from 'Merica.

@EpiphoneSH4

Nonsense....the Eurofighter Typhoon is a great and awesome jet but the f 22 is still better. And how many airshows do we have in europe? Us airshows are better then european ones but it was also great in Zeltweg (I was there in 2010). Greetings from austria, chris.

What is this supposed to show? That the best 21st Century European jet fighter technology appear capable of intercepting 1950s US turboprop transport planes ...as long we they outnumber them 2 to 1?

Not exactly Awesome stuff.
