@flyingman93 I think the 2 seaters are for training only.. =(

Seeing this is great, weren't sure if the RAF had 2 seater Typhoons so now I can be a Weapon Systems Officer and be in the back seat :)

I'm not really sure because I' out the loop now. A lot of stories surrounding Typhoon are rumour and hearsay and I don't know.
