SEPECAT Jaguar Flight from RAF Coltishall

I was lucky enough to have a go in the back of a Jaguar T4. Footage covers taxi, take off, some low level and above cloud flying before I had to put the camera away to have a fly!

One of the best looking jets ever made. When I was at Lakenheath, I'd stop working to watch one fly by, or see one taxi when it was just visiting. Such a waste to retire them. Surly, there must be a role that it can fill in a combat environment?

Totally agree jonesy97 it's a crying shame. I have my fingers crossed that someone (maybe in the states or south africa?) will resurrect a T-Bird for the airshow circuit. We live in hope :-)

Raz you old dog...you puked your lungs up on this flight if I remember? I think I saw you in.

Had my flight on shiny 6 too, great experience.

[Microlightgary]

Guilty as charged mon ami! A heck of an experience though and I'd do it again tomorrow - puking or non-puking!!!

[Microlightgary]

Aha, just worked out who 'maltcrispy' might be... Ciao bruto ;-P

going to miss those birds, went up in a hawk when I was in the ATC but didnt really do much other than flying the circuit around valley god knows how many times lol. Ahh well, joining up next year after I graduate.

@jonesy97 yeah buddy there going to retire and become training aircraft for the RAF. also its only survival of the fittest buddy, when there is a more effective aircraft why would we keep the under performing one for the much more capable one? i beleive the tornado GR variants have slowly taken the role of the jaguars...also with appraoch of the f-35 jsf many fighters around the world will find themselves retiring to the all new multi role stealth figher@@@@@@@

@FallenPhoenix86 I hope we still have an RAF mate! The rate at which the myopic politicians are carving the RAF up, we will have next to nothing left-it's outrageous & very sad to see.......

[wizzer1985]
