Typhoon up close and personal
Anyone else just think this is awesome? see the link for more http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums...d.php?t=102085
I never thought of posting them here, I received them on the 4th and have 7 of them, we have debated over one of them as we think the nose probe is over the ramp he is that close.

" 'Ere chief - are you sure it's one of ours 
"?
Or
"Now look what you've done! I've told you before - close the bloomin' back door before you get the butty boxes out"!
Or
"Here he comes again - quick, pass me the bucket of water"!
Or
"Hang on, I'll show him my elephant impression "!

Amazing pictures, btw!

My apologies wrote the response to quick, should have read radome, as will have been noticed the Typhoon does not have a probe.

The purpose of the shots were to provide "in Flight" footage of the a/c although the (film) industry can provide gyro stabilized cams the loss of quality required by zooming is a trade off, hence the closer a craft can get to the camera gives a better shot you will see them used in the vid showing the plane flying with the pilot clearly visible from the front, those are the shots used(if that makes sense)
From the text above the clip:
This film came about because Eurofighter decided it needed to create an impression at air shows. The eight minute film provides an adrenaline rush, rather than the usual corporate stream of facts and figures, however the narrative is designed to support the central message that Eurofighter is a multi-role aircraft capable of dealing with different tasks in the same mission such as air-to-air combat, defence, air support and air-ground combat.

Can a nice mod please tell me why a couple of my posts were deleted from this thread please?
If it's because of the rag head comment, I'm a little bit suprised.
C'mon guys, I was on your side!!
