Angel mediocre airshow done by Eurofighter

If you are a pilot of Eurofighter, could you tell me why the performance done by Eurofighter in aishow just like a donkey run around a mill?
I've searched many video from YouTube - Broadcast Yourself., after watch, I wondered, the canard which was designed for hi-maneuver to neutralizing Su-27 was wasted to its purpose.
However, the SHE/F was developed from HornetC/D which initially was one of the most mediocer jet in 3nd gen fighter.but it did quite impressive action in many airshow.

I'm a blinder maybe, your rebutment are welcome.

You need to get away more often, rousseau, preferably to a live airshow. Too much You Tube is not good for your judgement.

Blinding post rousseau. Hope Charlie gets to see it.

"...like a donkey run around a mill"

Good luck with the rebutment.

I think you'll find they're Foreplanes not Canards. An important distiction.

Going to criticize (especially criticizing someone posting in what is patently a second, third or possibly even 4th language)?

Then get it right yourself in your first language!

I believe you will find that "innerds" should be spelt "innards".

JSP 101 recommends the spelling first listed in the COED, so on the strength of that you'd use 'criticise'; however, 'criticize' is the correct English spelling - as is 'distinction'

This is what happens when we feed the troll

Looks like someone's been taking advice from thirteen year old members off youtube that know better than the actual pilots that fly them for a living

When you see a Typhoon performing in the air, it's called; "Maneuverability"!

When you see a Su-XX performing back flips in the air, it's called; "Pointless 'Get a missile up your arse' Maneuverability"!

Without wanting to feed the troll, it must be said that it isn't easy to find decent footage of a really good Typhoon airshow performance on t'internet.

It's frustrating, as many of us have seen the aircraft displaying very impressively, so we know that it can knock the spots off a Super Hornet or a non-TV 'Flanker' as an airshow performer.

Despite flying the jet many years ago, when limits were more conservative, Keith Hartley seemed to fly a much more impressive and punchy display than the recent EF GmbH TPs have done - though John Turner was always good value and Partz impressed the hell out of me with his display in a jet toting six 1,000-lb bombs at the last Farnborough.

But I haven't seen a really dynamic HAVV roll (for example) since Keith was displaying the jet, and I do think that Chris Worning and Maurizio Celli have been guilty of making the jet look a bit tame and dull, as did Matt Elliott, except on that one, memorably exciting moment.

Why is that?

But our trolling friend sounds French, so - in the interests of being welcoming and friendly and all - I'll refrain from describing Rafale's increasingly rare airshow appearances as looking like a French delicacy - (it made me think either of a very slow snail, or of a frog.... after some chef had cleavered off its back legs). But Dassault can't seem to give it away, and seem to have given up trying, poor dears, so I doubt we'll see it often.

This guy sounds similar to the lunatic French nationalist (gilles/gn/gogo/Thunder/Sampiax) that turned up here a few years ago spouting off about Rafale and ended up telling pilots that they didnt know their own aircraft.

I think I'll go warm up the popcorn :-)

The way I see this thread is very simple. Its got nowhere and its going nowhere. What's left then?

Can't even bring myself to say get it back on track! But I do know how far the buffers are.

rosseau, mon petit fromage-mangeant singe se rendrant.

Vous avez le wrong end du stick, mon vieux!

Les foreplanes du TypHoon sont pour le supersonic agility; ils ne sont pas pour posing aux air shows comme un Rafale-emmerdeur ou chauffeur du M2K!

Le TypHoon est vachement mieux comme un piece-de-merde Hornet ou Sukhoi vingt-beaucoup!! Et CA MARCHE!!

Without wishing to rain on anyone's parade, I've not seen a Tiffy airshow that has made my jaw drop. They have all been rather pedestrian. I few CCs of adrenalin wouldn't go far wrong.

Just my 2p

Because after all isn't that what all the money and technology is really for, to keep a few spotters happy at airshows?
