Default 66!

Just a nice extract of a video showing two of the most appreciated planes in UK.

Interesting too if you look closely.

Enjoy !

Biggest waste of tax payers money a complete flop. IMHO

...are you serious?

You're not one of the "EE Lightning Nostalgia Group" by any chance, are you?

I frankly find quite outstanding the fact that the Eurofighter can turn inside a Spit at the same speed!

Given that Messerschmitt is hiding somewhere within EADS (that's also why you see so many EADS sponsored Messerschmitts) I consider this Vid kinda ironic. If I were the pilot of the EF I'd be hard pressed not to pull the trigger. Completly understand KG26_Alpha's attitude here

one of my best mates is an ITAF pilot an is completing his syllabus on the EF: he said (and I quote) "it's an outstanding machine, you go from 200kts to 450 in roughly 5 secs and can turn around a pole! The flaws are distinctively British though!".

There seems to be a somehow unorthodox approach in British aircraft design: another good friend of mine is a Canadian Air Force pilot and flew with the Hawk when e still was a cadet and I remember him saying "the first impression when you sit inside the Hawk is that someone puked the instruments all over the cockpit" lol
