DCS needs more Cold War strike aircraft! The Viggen is good, but we need more! Jaguar, Etendard, F-105, F-111, Tornado. So many options!

Never fails to amaze me how these pilots, flying at incredible speeds and subject to high G forces could actually manage such a complex cockpit. Am honest enough to admit that I would never have such an ability, and I would guess very few would.

How these pilots could fly low and fast and operate all those switches never ceases to amaze me. Great vid and very well explained.

It gets easier with 4th gen aircraft with HOTAS and multi-function displays. For combat you basically only fuddle with armament, sensor, and if necessary navigation switches, anyways. It would have definitely helped to have the light switches all in one place, though

I have to say the Jag is one of my favourite aircraft.

This just made me all nostalgic. God I miss working on this jet :(

Love these cockpit tours, awesome stuff.

Great vid and thank you Kip. The Jag: one of the only aircraft that chucked out more fuel than it took in during refuel....

5:29 lol, the exact same inflatable canopy seals than the Mirage 2000 ones.

Fantastic, Thank you..

Another great tour, thanks Mike and Kip!

Sat in the runway caravan at Coltishall one day, and had a Jaguar T-bird line up for departure. Saw something stuck up at the rear of the wing so called the pilot and explained what I was seeing. Comical as the two guy's heads swung round to have a look so quickly. Apparently they had had an auto stab runaway. Got a thank you out of that, so was a happy bunny.

I've always liked the Jag, has a similarish backend to the Phantom I think lol but it was an awesome low level attack aircraft, just a shame the government didn't increase its power, maybe it would have been in service slightly longer if that was the case? Awesome to be shown around the cockpit, I do feel we should have more cockpit tours, like the Canberra PR9 reconassance aircraft, or the good old EE Lightning, there are many to be honest lol. Well done Mike and thanks to Kip too ☺

That was awesome !

Great video, I was always a fan of this jet. I read somewhere that the Indian Air Force are giving their Jaguars an engine upgrade that'll give it 30% more power. It's good to know that people are still flying these birds.

I know this sounds silly, but I think the Jaguar is a very sexy, aggressive looking beast. The landing gear looks like the closed talons of a feathered raptor. Great looking, aggressive, , testosterone sweating, sexy assed jet aircraft!

@@infledermaus A guy I used to work with, was out in Oman and he brought a load of photo`s in one day, amongst them was a fantastic shot of one of these Birds, it looked like it was barely above the desert floor. I asked him, was it coming in to land? he said no, it was on a flight test and the pilot was doing a very low level pass, look, he said. The landing gear is still up. I was absolutely amazed.

the jag always looked like a baby tsr2 to me

Hello thanks for sharing saludos

That old PMD. Weird not to see the 1064c controller on the left.

Regarding operating PTR switches from rear cockpit on T2...... I spent 8 years as propulsion technician on Jags, late 70's/early 80's. I can't remember the PTR switches being duplicated in the rear cockpit but it was a long time ago and I could be mistaken. I know the throttle box was different in the rear and the engines could not be started or shut down from the rear.

The "radio" on the left looks more like an IFF panel. Definitely a modern feat.

Wow loved the jag but didn’t know it was that under powered! Had to have one engine on re-heat to refuel with full stores! 😳

Interestingly the F16 requires reheat during air to air refueling if fully laden with stores, so not just an issue affecting the Jag.

Looks somewhat 'close' in that cockpit. Not a great deal of room to move about in. I guess many fighter and attack cockpits will be the same. Tons of switches and dials too.

There was a problem with the autostab system... Urm... MCAS anyone? It seems that the aviation industry has learned nothing about putting "idiot-proofing" gizmos in the command-chain.

Could someone explain what RE HEAT is and in what ocasions does it is used please?

Re Heat on an Aircraft works in a similar way to a Turbo in a motor car ,in as much as it gives the engine an extra BOOST , in simple terms extra fuel in introduced into the engine to give the motor EXTRA power its usually used on aircraft for take off to get the aircraft into the air faster over a shorter take off run. and additionally in air combat situations where manoeuvrability at speed is of importance regards

@festol1

Thanks guys!!!!! From some research I found that the "reheat" came from the antient steam-turbines operation, that used this cicle as a kind of "booster", and the term went on to the jet turbine (besides working in different ways they both have the same purpose). Found that it is a regional term also (north americans call it "afterburners" while english often call it "reheat").

@tonyhaynes9080

The RAF version of the Jaguar also had the engines limited, so needed reheat to take off. It was a mandatory call from the runway caravan if they didn't light their tail.

Love the jag but blimey the thing sounds like if you missed 1 tiny small detail youd be a goner

Such a cramped cockpit.

Better than a massive cockpit that you have to reach everywhere. Also with the cockpit being tight around the pilot, the view out is rather good.
