  • So what's the dealio with the squiggly lines?

  • @ricochet188 It's a blasting sear that removes the cockpit canopy when the eject handles are used.

  • @mollyisagooddog Just curious, why do some airplanes have the blast cord while other airplanes jettison the cockpit? Do you know?

  • @3ISAMAGICNUMBR Miniature Detonation Cord or FLSC - Flexible Linear Shaped Charge) embedded within the acrylic plastic of the canopy. The MDC is initiated when the eject handle is pulled, and shatters the canopy over the seat a few milliseconds before the seat is launched. This system was developed for the Harrier family of VTOL aircraft as ejection may be necessary while the aircraft was in the hover, and jettisoning the canopy might result in the pilot and seat striking it.

  • this aint red one..its either 6 or 7...there syncro

  • Reds 1 to 5 form the front section known as 'Enid', and Reds 6 to 9 are known as 'Gypo'.

    The Synchro Pair, Reds 6 and 7, perform the dynamic manoeuvres during the second half of the display sequence.

    If one of the pilots goes sick during the display season, or for any other reason is not able to fly, the Team is able to fly an eight-ship formation. There are no reserve pilots for safety reasons; one spare pilot could not possibly learn all nine positions to the standard required.

  • @colonelbloodfart The idea that this even is a job, with a salary, is bizarre to me. There aren't a lot of jobs out there that many people would pay tens of thousands of pounds for the privilege of experiencing just once, talk about living the dream.

  • is it just me or does the ground look like a face at 1.15?

  • so awesome, !!! nice work

  • and again FUCK SONY MUSIC for deleting the best videos of the Red Arrows, just because their FUCKING music on it... BAH....
