Just watched episode 2 ( will have to catch up on # 1).. It was a pretty good effort all round ; excellent aerial shots , a likeable bunch of guys and gal , commentary not over the top , nice nostalgia (RAF Valley , and what looked like the good old A5 pass recovery to same ) . AAR brought back memories of similar embarrassing misses ; credit to the producers for highlighting that even the aces get it wrong at times ; they could have shown edited shots of a first time in prod .
Re Hawk ACT , I do wonder about the distractions of those aural warnings in the middle of a dogfight . In the old days on the Jag , out in the desert , the main distraction in air combat was the stall warning ; we usually turned it off (non standard of course) . Also marvel at all that stuff floating around in the Hawk HUD ; have to hand it to the folks making head or tails of that lot . The LCOSS on the F4 was about all any fighter pilot should be asked to look through .
Looking forward to # 3.
