I thought the Typhoons best stealth mode consisted of sitting in a darkened HAS with the engines off ......

This is the picture in its entirety with the Mig 29 in the box. They just cut out the wrong aircraft with photoshop - the Mig 29 is looking good for fox 2 to me ;)

It's an Airshow. They can't fire real missiles under Health and Safety guidelines!

Sigh!
I guess that MOD website (http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/DefenceNews/EquipmentAndLogistics/InPicturesSunshineAndSmilesAtRafLeucharsAirshow.htm) is another good example of how well the MOD has its finger on the pulse!
