So good to see a ringer get to the top.. Gives such a boost to RIngers all over the world.. No red flags with this chap. Plane looks pretty good as well.
I'm excited to see vids. The viper Belgium solo f16 pilot is prolly the best I've seen taking the jet to it limits , can only imagine what the euro can do!
Good luck Turbo. Look forward to seeing you this season. I believe "Black Jack" was due to retire? Hopefully they will give your plane a good paint scheme ... anything but grey😉
Not sure if you realise that "ginger" in an anagram of another casually - or explicitly - offensive "them" word. (And there is no need for an apostrophe. It is a plural.)

Last decent RAF Typhoon Display I saw was RIAT 2012, since back then at almost all UK airshows, all the fast jets are so far away you need a 500-600mm lens to even half fill the frame for photos. Seaside shows are even worse, the CAA are pushing aircraft so far out from the crowd, it makes the entire endevour a complete waste of time. This all goes back to the massive over reaction by the CAA to what happened at Shoreham. yes it was an horrific accident, but it was nothing to do with the display line. Andy Hill, the pilot got it all horribly wrong, also I believe that the road should not have been open during the airshow, and the organisers had not done their jobs.
The Eurofighter is possibly the best fighter aircraft on the planet. There are a lot of arguments for the F-22, but the subsonic maneuvering of the Eurofighter makes it an excellent short range fighter.
I am pleased that Russia has denounced the Treaty on fishing in the Barents Sea to the enemies. For 68 years, the British plundered this part of the sea, catching about 560 tons of fish a year. This is over, enemies cannot be allowed to hunt in our seas!!!
Delta wing planes are supposed cheaper and easier to build than retractable wings planes. Already looks outdated, up against its counterparts, I don’t think it will do well. But most importantly our pilots have no battle experience. Flying exhibitions isn’t fighting experience..
The retractable wing aircraft were better because their wings could retract? You what now? The Typhoon has evolved over many years into an exceptional multi role platform. With the AESA radar upgrades coming it'll be a match for anything else in the skies. In BVR matched with the Meteor, it's certainly not a platform to go up against. In a pure dogfight it's thrust to weight ratio and performance matches that of most fighters in the sky, even holding its own against the F22 at red flag. But I forgot, it's wings don't retract, silly me, that makes it bad. Ah well then.
