Anyone in sunbury/staines area hear or see a low flying jet ?
Definitely military, very fast and extremely loud, I dashed out to see it but it was gone, hoping someone saw it and could tell what it was.
I must say its a bit unnerving, I mean they dont scramble them for nothing do they ?
-
Could be Tom Cruise doing Top Gun 2 :grin:
-
nah, more likely that Charlie sheen's nick a jet to try and set up a hot shots part trois !!

Yep we heard that in harrow. Defo a fighter jet.
-
Thankgod, I thought i was the only one, at least i know im not :stupid:
-
Used to hear and see them reasonably often in the Scottish highlands, presumably on training exercises. Unbelievably close to the floor sometimes.
-
The Typhoons are at RAF Northolt this weekend getting familiar with the area as they will be based there during the Olympics just in case they are needed
-
Some of this apparently. :smiley:
-
ties in with ops in london this week on the thames. apparently grimsby is high on terry wrists hit list.
-
Yeah Heard it over here in Hayes too... thought it was bass from the neighbours car untill it kept getting louder
-

I see the Typhoons now and again over the wash practicing maneuvres, about a year back there was 3 of them all doing nose up pirouettes then into stall turns, it was noisy as hell but impressive to watch
-
They are seriously impressive, its amazing just how aggressively they can change direction. I wish i'd been outside when it went over, I stood outside for half an hour freezing my tadgers off in the hope of a return flight!
-
How does the Typhoon compare to the Yank the stuff????
Out of interest....
-
Compared to the F22-Raptor I think it gets a spanking.
The Typhoon is quite an old plane.

Shame :sad1:
Raptor looks the tits though :drool:

I wish I had listened and concentrated more at school and gone straight into the RAF... :signLOL:
Cant possibly think of anything cooler than flying fast jets.
