Well that was my day except for the highlight that came in the form of the last Typhoon to depart, it was the last of four Typhoons that had just Hot Pitted,it came out and taxid up the run way for a short distance before staging, the pilot then let it go with full reheat and straight up into a max rate vertical climb, it looks fantastic on the video
Well i hope the log is usefull and if any of you guys can ID the unmarked ZK Typhoon in 3 sqn HAS site it would be much appreciated.
