Let me know if you have GoPro footage that can rival the frogs so we can have a face-off with them on youtube and get one up on them?.... gotta admit though - very nice!

PM if you have good footage as I have a video editing department, and it wouldn't take too long to pull something sweet together.....

The RAF couldn't compete. They don't have the scenery and probably Their Airships wouldn't approve! :)
Here are two of my favourites:

Anyone got the GR1 footage from the workup to GW1? Over the desert floor with the shadows just below then into the mountain passes with the 90% turns?

There are a couple of versions of sky fighter knocking about YT, the one with the shot of the alpha jet bimbling along in the alps when the 2000 passes the merge then turns into and behind him whilst going belly up to the big solid lump is a favourite bit....now obviously I'm no jockey but that shows complete confidence imo..

Or this one. Doesn't just have to be the pilots either.

Who are the "we" referred to in the post title? Especially when this forum is "A forum for the professionals who fly military hardware. Also for the backroom boys and girls who support the flying and maintain the equipment, and without whom nothing would ever leave the ground. All armies, navies and air forces of the world equally welcome here". ;)

Love that idea as long as it respects copyright and the £££ that the people who took the footage had to put into getting it. Equally that it doesn't drop anyone in the brown stuff.

I recognise rather well the footage from one of the clips already posted on this thread .. shame that the original soundtrack has been replaced. But also remembering questions being asked about a particular take-off and who exactly was flying. The correct answer for the grown-ups was "I'm terribly sorry but we didn't keep a written log of which days we filmed different bits on so we can't help you". Totally true but they 'forgot' to ask to see the timecoded Master tapes so it was smiles all round, brilliant PR coup for the unit and the Air Force concerned and no harm done to anyone.

RobCopied. Confused. :(

Retransmitting ... I am in some awe of the people who can do this stuff. Clearly I am not wired the same way, which may explain the RN's wise decision to dispense with my prospective aircrew services at an early stage. My thanks to those who can, and this Thread shows me what they can do. i certainly couldn't/wouldn't do that stuff.

However, as a Mil ATCO I turned out to be OK, and was even thanked on a couple of occasions. ;)

This was done in aid of Help For Heroes. Shows off the capabilities of the aircraft and the pilots rather well I thought?
