3sqn "Nightmare" Performance takeoff - 2 3SQN RAF Eurofighter Typhoons 

I love the Gripen, lovely aircraft. The Swedish know how to make lovely airplanes. I got a video of the Swedish historical flight arriving at the RIAT Airshow in the UK. It was the first time i saw the Draken in the Air.

@@coningsbylive The aerodynamics of the SAAB Draken is Proof-of-Concept for 6th Gen Jet Fighters. Just thanks to todays avionics there are less to non verticals possible compared to the SAAB Draken...6th Gen Fighters Seen so gar Not really a step foward while the SAAB Jas 39 Gripen Always makes the First step and then the Eurofighter Typhoon and the Panavia Tornado of the German Bundeswehr get the Same Upgrades...by formerly Ericsson today SAAB Electronics. SAAB Planes/Jets are the swedish Hortens Regarding effective concepts for planes/Jets.

i remember taking a heater matrix for my mk 1 astra from a scrap yard in preston, when the engine of the EF where being tested, scared the crap out of me!

When I visit Warton, my favourite thing is the English Electric Lightning.

wow, that is so cool. Any tit bits you can share about the Typhoon?

@@coningsbylive loads, what type of titbits would you like. I cannot give any sensitive info. Did u know the original spec called for an auto ladder as a part of the front fuse that would extend and retract with the push of a button. I think it was hydraulic but might be wrong. This was worked on for ages but we couldn’t get it to work so it was designed out. The early DAs had RB199s (Tornado engine) fitted for a long period whilst the EJ200s were being tested prior to Cert. There was some research for vectored thrust on the EJ200s using a mechanical nozzle but nothing came of this.

@@albar1883 I didn't realise until I saw a red flag vid that there was a ladder built into them. One thing we notice on the live streams is that they leave the gear down a lot when doing circuits. At lakenheath they alway raise the gear on missed approach but the typhoon leave them down

We have seen a clean no external tank Typhoon doing this, but he returned shortly after take off. I love all burner takes off, Lakenheath is my special treat as we get F15's and F35s burners.

Echo that...

Def lightning are cool, loved watching them, and miss them. I watched them in the early 80s and even went to Binbrook for the last display. Wish i had videos of them. Typhoons are cool for modern jet lol

Never got to see one flying but they are one of my favourite aircraft based on looks and performance alone.

@@camberwickgreen5021 I was lucky to see one fly, it went like a rocket. Nightmare to maintain with the engines stacked they way they were. loved them

Thank you

Hello Northern California, so please you have found the channel. We also love our jets. Hope you enjoy

I love these takeoffs

they only had hand luggage

@@bart-v yeah, but still awesome 👌

​@@coningsbylive having spoken to many pilots ... The Phoon has so much power ... The stores hardly make a difference

@@wilkowilkins363 would love to speak to a pilot, that would be so cool

They def can move. The F35 is like a rocket when at full power

Nice description!

@@Jaden48108 Hi Thomas, not sure what you are getting at - Nightmare is the call sign for the 2 planes taking off, Performance take off is what they call it when the Eurofighter Typhoons lights the burners and does a steep climb out. Sorry if you found it misleading, that was not the aim of the channel or videos.

@@coningsbylive Don't worry I know the difference between a Typhoon and F-35 being in the USAF for 22 years. I know my jets having 3,000 flying hours in the C-9A Nightingale and a couple other jets. I've never seen a Typhoon take off like that before. Damn impressive. Weird how it accelerates going straight up.

@@Jaden48108 Thanks Thomas, sorry sometimes it hard to know what the message means lol. The Typhoon is a impressive beast, someone said to me thrust to weight is 1:1 which means its has lots of power at hand. Sadly they dont do a lot of the Performance take offs, but when they do wow - we love them. I have a few videos from different angles of them going up, apart from my bad camera work lol. Wow cant believe a USAF pilot is chatting to me lol, never seen a C9, bet you got some cool storys etc

Glad you enjoyed it. It has grown on ne over the years

@@coningsbylive Soft spot for Tornado. Worked on the navigation system for it, a few moons ago now! Very proud of what we've all achieved with our military systems & aircraft.

@@margobaxter8344 love the Tornado, I used to have a soft spot for the F3. Both were awesome planes and did the job they were designed for. Miss the RAF Tornados

Hey welcome Idaho, thanks for finding the channel, hope you enjoy the content, and would love to see you on the live shows we do. We do RAF and US airbases in the UK

lol, very true, I love them

Sorry, nightmare is the call sign of the 2 typhoons, and also these would be a nightmare for anyone facing them lol

@@coningsbylive Just having a little fun, as I suspect the pilots are too!

@@olamarvin Sorry Ola mate, been having a few accusations of clickbaiting with the title, which is something i am trying not to do, sorry chap. Thy would be a nightmare for who ever faces these.

oh wow - i bet that was awesome

Thank you Ted

Thank you Brian, we live it when they do these

They are def powerfull beasts, thank you

Viggen did take-off in 8 sec, think Gripen also manages 10 sec. Built for using regular roads.

Thrust to weight ratio with 3 tons of fuel : Typhoon : 1,28 Rafale : 1,17 Gripen E/F : 0,98

Model D Tomcat.....''nuff said.

@@gtc1961 slightly below Typhoon.

Yes, but the lightning really did go straight up, and at Coltishall usually in pairs. 38,000 feet in who knows what seconds and whoops, where the hells the tanker!

I have seen both, lightnings were awesome. But do love these Typhoons

@@JohnSmith-pd1fz The same at RAF Wattisham ,ex armourer 111 sqd ..Those were the days .....(1973)!!!

yes and the lightning had RAF insignia

++@@1tonyboat++ Ah Wattisham with it's glide path lights on wooden poles across several fields along the back road to Thetford.

Def lightning are cool, loved watching them, and miss them. I watched them in the early 80s and even went to Binbrook for the last display. Wish i had videos of them. Typhoons are cool for modern jet lol

@@coningsbylive Harrier..

@@mike747436 oh sorry, i got people posting about lightnings lol. Loved Harriers. I love all jets tbh. Def a jet freak, as you can tell on the channel

Yer but it took the length of the runway to do it. 😂

@@coningsbylive I'd have never guessed! You hide it so well! LOL Thank you!

I don't remember the F4s at Coningsby, I remember when the F3 started. Hope you had a good day today

Awesome planes

You should see my face once i hear the pilot requesting performance take off lol, then i shake like anything trying not to mess up the camera. We do lots of live streams, and these guys test me lol

@@coningsbylive whats the deal do you turn up anytime and this is going on all day and its pot luck? I'd like to do Coningsby and the Mach loop at some point in the near future. Although the way things are going with NATO we could all be seeing some very real action.

@@chrisgosling5408 Hi chris, yes it is all pot luck, we might get some rumours on some chat groups for the display pilot. But things like this are pot luck. We have done live shows and not 1 Performance take off, then we have been there and quite a few. The whole point of the channel is to share the hobby and passion with others, esp those who can not get to the bases but love the jets.

@@coningsbylive well thanks for posting and the info, it keeps me happy! Its quite a drive for me to either so as long as I know the deal. Again great video.

@@chrisgosling5408 Thank you Chris, it be cool if you can join us on the live streams, we are a friendly bunch

They are cool

@@coningsbylive ooo nice 😁👍

Def lightning are cool, loved watching them, and miss them. I watched them in the early 80s and even went to Binbrook for the last display. Wish i had videos of them. Typhoons are cool for modern jet lol

Interestingly but listened to a podcast from a pilot who'd flown lightning tornado and typhoon. The typhoon was way quicker than even the lightning .. he says that you can just feel the performance difference.. and as for Tornado ... Was like a Mazda 2 in comparison

Lightning pilots used to quip that she only had wings to keep the navigation lights apart, and that she climbed like a homesick angel. You guys probably already knew this, but I love those quotes so I thought I’d share for others All the best 🙂 🤝 🍻

@@KumaBean Lightnin where like rockets, nightmare to work on so i am told, but they did go like a rocket.

They were a nightmare to work on believe me lol. I was at RAF Binbrook in 1984 and also had a flight in the t bird (2 seater) low level combat practice. The t bird was the faster of the lightnings due to air intake shape.

Thank you so much

lol

Made me smile Hell of a crosswind mind BUT those Eurofighters barely seemed to notice it.

@@babboon5764 yes, really strong crosswind. But these are so powerfull, does not notice it lol

Best way to wake up lol, bet the locals don't agree haha

Hello, what is the RAFVR?

@@coningsbylive RAF volunteer Reserve- in my case Liverpool University Air Squadron. Flew every week-end, staying at RAF Woodvale. Later, HM kindly gave me a Permanent Commission in General Duties, Pilot. Accelerated promotion; double pay; minimum 16 year contract - selected one of 20 from 4,000 applicants. Very flattered, "For displaying outstanding leadership."....played "spot landings" at RAF Leuchars with 2 squadrons of Lightnings!......got asked to stop as they were only getting 9 landings from a set of tires as they were driving in SO hard to avoid paying for a round in the Mess. CAVU skies.

@@davidwheatcroft2797 wow - honeslty wow, please sub to the channel, would love to chat more with you

@@coningsbylive Bit of a luddite here. How? Also built C-IAVW an aerobatic ultralight....scored 100% in my licence test, the first! Live near Coningsby? Worked as Airside Escort at YVR...saved 300 lives one night, stopping a contractor from driving on runway as 777 on finals... a close run thing! Lucky I ran my engine all night, and was pointing the right way.....my 3 radios jumbled from the acceleration so I could not call, "Aircraft on finals; stand by to overshoot; vehicle intruding on runway, Escort 528." Got a pat on the back from the ASO. (Airport Safety Officer).

@@davidwheatcroft2797 blinking hell, that sounds like brown pants times. No i dont live near Coningsby, just my fav airbase when i was a kid and they did airshows there. I just love all things aviation and want to share our hobbie and passion with others.

Thank you got watching John, they send chills down my spine when they do it, and i am live and dont want to mess it up lol

Thank you Ken, love Performance take offs, def a highlight at Coningsby when they happen

Thank you kindly!

Up up and away

Thank you

we love them

Nightmare is the call sign of the 2 typhoons it does say this on the intro and description

Hi Alan, Nightmare is the callsign for the 2 typhoons, this is mentioned in description and audio intro. Sorry to confuse

I saw the last lightning at RAF Binbrook, awesome machines

The English Electric Lightning was the first to be able to stand on its tail and climb vertically to supersonic speed. Immediately after take off.

@@Yorkshiremadmick and we loved watching it

I have posted this before my late father was an avionics engineer on Lightning’s in the RAF and on Saudi aircraft for Ferranti who I believe were responsible for the radar😉I remember as a 6/7 year old watching these stunning aircraft taking off at Wattisham in the early 70’s to this day I still nod when I pass, what I believe is a T2, that stands behind the statue of Cody at the museum in farnborough Hampshire. Very proud of my father for the part he played he went onto buccaneers and retired on Sea Harriers when the then government did the same thing. Jon.

@@jonofalltradesmasterofnone832 I love the old lightnings, awesome machines. Would love to have some old vids of them for the channels, sounds like your dad was awesome mate

Thank you so much, these comments means so much. Thank you

Thank you

This is a special vid clip

@coningsbylive it's the logo 1 right?

@IanC1974 no, not this one. This was videos the day before Savage Media passed away

@@coningsbylive oh that's sad 😔

@IanC1974 yeah very sad, it was a great day action. But next day shook me and was horrible

Lol

Thank you

they get up quick

Thank you - Love the name - Dwayne Dibbly - brilliant - No Rimmer was the best char.

light the fuse and watch it go

Like a rocket

i love them, im a jet freak lol

I know what you mean, it looks like it just slides. Def age of computers etc

Sorry, Nightmare is the call sign for the 2 Typhoons and who ever has to face them lol. This is mentioned in the description and audio intro

@@coningsbylive Oh, I see. Must have missed that

@@coningsbylive The Quick Readiness Alert (QRA) call-sign.

@@christopherrobinson7541 This was not a QRA, i do have a video where they did a QRA practise, that is the only time i got the QRA on video. They take off differently as they are fully loaded up, they dont do the steep climb

Lightnings were awesome for there time, I loved watching them, and wish i had some on video. These are awesome aircrafts though, the power they have is awesome.

Yes and British built!

awesome power, we have other clips of the performance take offs, my personal fav is the video Awesome Performance take off, the light so low and the afterburners was awesome.

and we love seeing them doing this, it is always the highlight of RAF Coningsby esp when we do the live shows.

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you so much

Lol, love it

Thank you Mick

@@coningsbylive the Typhoon is my favourite modern aircraft 👍🏻

Think it is mine to. Though f22 does look sexy lol

@@coningsbylive it’s certainly in the “beast” category!

def is - we love it when they do this.

oooh yes, but i prob make a mess in the cockpit lol

Point and full POWER!!

Earth and beyond

Not impressed. Loaded with weapons it would be a sitting duck. Ground support makes it a lame duck. Sorry "duckies".

Not many of the RAF Typhoons have sqn markings, this allows the RAF to cycle the jets between the flying squadrons - We would love proper sqn marked jets.

lame duck - i think not. When these do a QRA Alert, they fly out of the hanger and airborne - I would guess they would be airborn just as quick as other jets.

mmm, good question.

Thanks Mike, i do love them. Very capable Jet

They need to get AESA radar ASAP. @@coningsbylive

Thank you for watching

Def m8

Have a look at the awesome typhoon performance take off vid, you see the jet jerk when he floors it

Hi Mud - These are called performance take off by the RAF, you are not guaranteed to see them doing this if you visit the base. But when they do we love them. We do live shows at Coningsby and sometimes we can go a whole day and not see 1, then you can have several on the same day. Apparently the pilots need to do a burner take off, and this is the best way to reduce stress and noise for the village.

@@coningsbylive Thank you for the explanation. I am amazed and thrilled every time I watch this vid. What an awesome display!

@@mudpuddle8805 Thank you so muh Mud, we do have a few different videos of the Typhoons doing this, including me personal fav - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1xwBRU4AUKY.html The lighting makes this really cool with the afterburners. This take off inspired us for the channel logo

Nightmare is the callsign for the 2 Eurofighter and performance take off is what the RAF call these take offs with Afterburner and steep climb. We love them

Pretty close to vertical

Thank you

Thank you for watching

Yes def, thanks m8

Who is Greta lol

​@@coningsbylivegreta thurnburg (prob spelt wrong) she is an environmental activist

@IanC1974 oh the crazy little thing who probably burns more carbon them anyone transporting all over the world?

Not seen the F15EX yet

@@coningsbylive It is new. There are youtube videos on it.

@@TONSBERG100 I will have a search, but seeing them in real is better lol

@@coningsbylive Yes of course.

Do you fly both?

yeah, i miss the old Lightnings, but we now have these powerfull beast, and i kind love them in there own way lol

but they don’t crash!

lol

def go like a rocket

Sadly the channel is not in a position where i can not select certain adds. Would love to, but no where near that point yet. Really sorry.

Thank you

many thanks, we have a few different videos of the performance take off by the Eurofighter Typhoon's. I love them

Hi Bert, Nightmare is the call sign for the 2 Eurofighter typoons. Each flight has callsigns, for these it was Nightmare - Should make that clearer in the future. Sorry

Nightmare for the enemy!

Thank you. Regarding no sqn markings. Most of the Typhoon fleet have no sqn badges, this allows the RAF to move the planes around the sqns. It is also common to see a badged Typhoons flying for a different sqn. Basically there isn't enough Typhoons

Def gets airborne very quickly

thunder - thunder - thunder Typhoonnssssss go

Lol, yes they are loud, esp if your not use to it. Due to being a airshow reg I think ny ears are damaged due to them. I love the roar

def is, and is always a highlight when they do these on the live streams

Awesome engines, the power!!!

Sorry Fraser, Nightmare is the call sign of these 2 3sqn typhoons. Will try and make that clearer in the future. Sorry mate

@@coningsbylive Excuse my ignorance! Keep up the great work! Cheers!👍

@@frasersutherland6837 no no, you made a good valid point. thank you

I am sure some will consider this a nightmare...

@@ronaldglider Yes, i can imagine this somewhere to lol, even for the locals that have to enjoy the noise lol

most prob, thy have been doing a lot of A2A refueling this year. If you see the video of the Typhoon deploying the chute, the first typhoon taxis back to the dispersal area and extended the prob for checks

@Coningsby Live I couldn't resist commenting. In a prior career, I worked for a company that manufactured Gas Turbine Engine components. Fuel injectors, diverted valves and afterburner spraybars were the core business. Every time I see the afterburner lit, my mind goes into math mode on fuel consumption. Love your channel and content 👍

Would live to see it

I don't see typhoons, but I live right outside Langley AFB and t'day is unrestricted Friday! And every double duce (f22) that takes off rockets up to bout 40,000 feet then disappear! A'lil airshow in every takeoff!😎😁

@@darreloutland4604 oh, so it is a US thing, at RAF Lakenheath were the US F15's and F35's are based, they do unrestricted takeoffs on fridays to, half day. The RAF are a bit more of a rare thing these days lol, so when we do get them we love them hahaha. I love all jets, i love afterburners

@Coningsby Live hell yeah! Sorry you don't get to see them like you use to, but it's funny you mention afterburners because I like to say that it disappears like the alien in "predator " because as the f22 turns away and you're looking up the tailpipe the burners vanish as do the planes. Never gets old!

I think it depends how much fuel they were loaded with. I think these went to play with some F15's. I cant remember.

Sorry future lession, need to make title clearer. Nightmare was he call sign of the 2 tpyhoons. Apologies

If you like that, we suggest ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1xwBRU4AUKY.html Afterburner is low light

Hi, this is not normal for RAF Typhoons, they are so powerfull, they dont need afterburners, so it is always a treat seeing them. btw we love all jets, does not matter on the country, we should respect all the people that fly and maintain these lovely planes

Incorrect header? Performance take off if what the RAF call the Afterburner and steep climb take off. Nightmare I should have clarified this is a callsign for the 2 eurofighters, this is in the description and intro. Sorry about that

love them, they make you body rumble with the power

Nightmare is the call sign, I changed the title

they are awesome arnt they lol
