Boris flies in Typhoon
 

The question is... why? he had already got his marching orders, so does he now see the RAF as his plaything before he is gone? I know training has to be maintained etc, but this just seems bad timing as the rest of the UK is tightening its belt. BTW, I thought they had binned all the two seaters?

Tabloid headlines must be "Buffoon in a Typhoon"

More to the point, how did he pass the medical, and where did they get a g suit to fit him? Or did he get a pass as PM and they just trundled him around a bit?

This must have been on the cards for a wee while I imagine - That's not the kind of thing that get's pulled together at a couple of weeks notice.

Don’t forget he still has cachet in the larger world.

Don't they use a clear visor in Tiffies then?

More to the point, how was he allowed to experience AAR as a pax?

He is not the first.

Watching the video i know there are dual seat Typhoons but why does it look like he's in the front seat.

Poor guy, too late for Top Gun II

As was briefed to myself three times I flew as Cat B pax in ejection seat fitted aircraft. Clear visor down at all times. However we know taking in information and application of it is not someone's strong point.

No gloves either

Clear & gloves?!
 

Surely for canopy manipulation & det cord & bird stike & cockpit fire & command ejection & all other possibilities, visor & gloves are mandatory, or is arrogance & over-assuredness in passengers now tolerated?

How do we know it wasn't a sim ride?

From the pictures…

To tell the truth, If I became PM a Typhoon ride would be the first thing I organised, not the last!

The first batch of 16 T.1 two-seaters were binned, but six T.3s were added later and remain in service.

Was it target towing ?

All of a parcel, with ignoring briefs, (the written and spoken versions !), 'rules are for proles' attitude and a teenager's intolerance of other peoples' knowledge. The wonder of it (and the pity) is that such an entrenched attitude has not brought about its natural conclusion - so far !
