How To Get A Typhoon Off The Ground | Forces TV 

Group Captain Jim Walls was the same chap who raced the Bugatti Veyron in his Typhoon on Top Gear.

Wow, I didn't realise that the typhoon is so advanced that it doesn't need a squadron of aircraft techies to keep it serviceable. Keep up the good work chefs and PTIs, you're the real heros

I’m ex QPD RAFP was a brilliant job lovely to see what goes on in the RAF today my day was 40 years ago but it still feels familiar you never really leave 💕

Saw one of these bad boys on display at the Swansea air show on Saturday. Have to say that it's a truly amazing plane and my hat is off to all the men / women of the RAF who're piloting this beast, looking forward to seeing it again next year ^^

Once paid a visit to RAF St Mawgan. Lovely people, very dedicated and professional... As a country we should be proud of them..

can we just take a moment to appreciate that landing 0:52 that was so smooth.

Came here for the Typhoon but now I want British bacon

Stunning video. Will hopefully be making Lossiemouth my local (ish) base soon. Looking forward to it.

Excelent general info about the basic requirements and protocols of the ROYAL AIR FORCE. An Aviation enthusiast from Santiago, Chile.

I was on detachment at lossi in 92, I loved it. They had tonkers and bucs up there the bucs where getting binned but a few where still flying. They also had hunters there as well. A busy camp.

The Typhoon is so powerful that it can takeoff with a full load and not need the afterburners.

Very nice video. A true tribute to everyone involved.

great typhoon jet great groundcrew ,great raf staff and great raf typhoon pilots the raf is still the greatest airforce in the world and in my heart ❤❤

Yeah, the aircraft computer can monitor speed and oil but... Can it run Crysis?

this was so interesting! thanks, you can put up as many of these types of videos as you like. We can all feel safer in our beds with such great people keeping the country safe.

That breakfast in the Mess looked amazing. That Culinary Team is on point. It takes a total team to make any Military Unit work, but when everyone is getting started with great food it works so much better.

Engineers, not a mention of the ground crew. Not a single overall clad bod in the whole video. Do the Typhoons fix themselves???

Thanks for the great information 👍

Nice work.

Fascinating video 👍🏼

Fantastic aircraft

Just points to note there when I was in the RAF as a squipper our trade was called survival equipment fitters. Or is that the media getting it wrong as per. I was 20r squadron OCU Harriers at wittering

Lol GEF fix planes and MT drivers control the refuel.... great work forces tv

In America, It's NOT the PILOT'S plane. It's the CREW CHIEF'S plane and the pilot just flys it. "Hat's off" to all the "grease monkeys" who actually make a squadron fly.

Big shout out to the teams that keep the Station Serviceable, because without serviceable buildings, runways, BFIs, Messes, Barrack Blocks, electricity, Gas, Water you don’t have a Base 🤘☝️🤘🤘

Talk about all the ground trades to get the aircraft flying bar any air craft engineers just a liney and no armourers who with out them the raf is just a expensive flying club.

flippin amazing.

Excellent video. As a former RAF Medical Officer, I certainly would have loved to see the safety mission critical role of the medical centre highlighted.

So what happened to the actual trades that work on the jet? Airframes, propulsion armament? I guess they aren't as important as the ones featured!

Just what I like 👌

Mentioning ground crew, then showing GEF is incorrect. As is suggesting that the driver of the fuel bowser refuel the jet. Why is there no mention at all of the actual technicians and ground crew who do the hard work of maintaining these aircraft?

The real 'top gun'.

Honor

What's the advantage of wings like that?

I bet that PT staff have a hard job !

I think Jim Walls was on typhoon in the early days too

No mention of any sooties, riggers, fairies or plumbers!! The ground fueller from MT doesn't count. Do the jets fix themselves?

What about ATC, Flight Planning and Ops?

Why hasn't trade group 1 (Aircraft Technicians) got a mention this is an insult.

the clerks are the reals heroes

interesting to see that no firefighters or medics where involved which i think are very inportant in case of emergency

nice

👍

More than 1o people are working behind 1 Typhoon jet?

Nice 🌷.... جميل

Simples. Cannibalise five others ;)

Who's incharge for type of weapon to be deployed in the Typhoon?

great raf pilots i am a former retired pakistan air force pilot

So when did RNAS Lossiemouth become an RAF base..it used to be RAF Kinloss for the Nimrods and Lightnings...

where is the brexit fighter?

Air traffic controllers?

looks a lot like the J-10

How i would love to have ago in one of those jets.

LOL...they blur his nametape @ 0:43, but put his name on the screen. And why would they need to do so anyhow?

Hi

1:08, why is the intake blurred out/covered?

Probably get a spliff in

Excuse me, but where’s RAF Coningsby? 🤔 There is more than 1 base with Typhoons you know

all of those people could probably just lift it off the ground, dont see what the fuzz is about

Typhoon quietly flying in the shadow’s of F22 & F35.

I remember Gordon Ramsey being shocked that the crew got no mess food

No Engineers or ATC must be squadron personnel only and not base personnel??

The RAF needs to get the same F35C's as the Royal navy, no need for massive airfields, just portable launch and land pads deployed by mobile maintenance and security teams.

no mention at all of aircraft technician....dam those typhoons are good and dont need technicians to get them in the air......

Ah yes the 'Airfield Support Mechanical Transport Driver'.... well it's actually AMMs (Lineys), who are junior Aircraft Technicians, that refuel the jets. Drivers do not operate the Typhoon end of the refuel.

4 Tons of fuel for an hour's flight. Jeez.

Other title *How to get a typhoon of the ground in under a minute*

Excuse me but what about us Air Traffic Controllers?

Why not made new Tornado?

The video sums up the existing unfairness in Military aviation across the world . There are a lot of specialist personnel working to get a aircraft airborne from technical to administrative . And the result of all the hard work is enjoyment and appreciation , taken for granted by the aircrew . Anybody who has studied mordern aircraft’s will know , Thats flying an aircraft is way easier than anybody thinks . The kind of autopilots which are available today , they can even sleep during the flight . But to the general civilian pubic , a flying aircraft is like a magic and their hero will always be a pilot as he is flying the aircraft with his supernatural abilities !

you guys watch the plane I'll stick with the food.

Logistician???😂😂😂😂😂

Why did I think Typhoon was a submarine?

Dios y la virgen les bendigan con amor y paz

Yet another video where the aircraft magically are serviceable to fly😂 No riggers, fairies, sooties or armourer's featured in this video all of whom keep the jet airworthy 😉 Pants!

Disappointed not to see at least one Typhoon painted in LGBTQRBGFDSHJKIUYTVCX Unicorn colours.

Being infantrylight infantry i see the raf with there feet upmstill planes that fly them selfs lol wT ever next

Colour party

This narrator has some weird accent.

Reassuringly professional. Led by political Donkeys: I mean, just imagine doing Boris' bidding. Nightmare

nothin to compare with the rafale

I thought 24/7 was an American term, next the yanks will be saying ring-fencing.

It's almost flying itself....give it 10 years and it will be flying itself. Airborne Pilots are obsolete.... dead weight. Bring on the drones.
