As non aircrew RAF I’ve had two trips in an F4 Phantom, the first was in Cyprus on detachment and we got airborne, gear up, then vertical, unlike this Typhoon takeoff, to 10,000 feet!! 228 OCU, S/L Andy Bateman was the pilot. That was AWESOME!!

I've seen typhoons go vertical using purely the thrust from the jets to keep them in the air and moving upward at RAF Conningsby. An amazing sight, so spectacular. That said the Spitfires have also done it on rare occasions from the same station.

Acceleration only surpassed by a top fuel nitro methane dragster pulling 10Gwith 13,000 bhp. 0-350mph in 3.8seconds and you never leave the ground. Drivers black out for a couple of seconds during acceleration and again with equally harsh negative G when they pull the shoot to slow down after 400 yards. But have to agree the view is better from a typhoon

@@hazzard8760 interesting

The RAF need forty new build Typhoons now with the Tranche 1 Typhoons upgraded not scrapped. Things are getting serious with Russia and Ukraine so scrapping Typhoons and the tiny size of the RAF is insane. Oh, and reopen the Hawk production line and order another 25 Hawk T2s with slatted wings and new all Rolls Royce made Adour engines minus the oops a daisy accidentally on purpose did we get it wrong French components.

Nice Rolf!!

Both are correct. The British mostly call it Typhoon. In Germany it’s always called Eurofighter, to a point where apart from experts nobody even knows it’s also called Typhoon.

I'm not sure when this was, at LAX you get 'clear to land' even though you're not the first aircraft on approach. Perhaps the practice has changed since then?
