Typhoon Display Jet

[POL]

Fixed that for you.

Could be better, could be grey with zero markings

Some more shots just appeared, it's planned to be the display jet for the next 2 seasons.

Nothing will ever be better than GiNA!

[James Cutting]

Agreed!

I may be alone here........ but I think it's hideous......... I'd much rather the style of those wonderful 11, 29, and 41 Squadron aircraft of a few years back.

Yup.

Awful.

Just wait until I post my FuzzyFastjetFotos of it, it won’t look so bad then



Stay safe

There goes one of the 9sqn Black jets....

It was the only 9 sqn black jet!

Now that it seems the early Typhoons will be retired early (again) I wonder if any more Aircraft will be painted in that scheme, or if the plans have been quietly dropped?

I really like it a bit of colour makes a real change. It has to be eye catching and the underside and top look great.

The idea has been dropped. Mainly because 914 looked so bad and top brass didnt like it.

It looked so much better a few weeks ago.

I think that it is a crackingly splendid scheme with a touch of arrogance (Great B?).

A fly past Foto of it being refuelled by the UK tanker would be rather good

I look forward to F…..g u. Fotos of it myself (a.k.a Smugger)

The black jet also looks impressive

Stay safe

[napalm42]

Absolutely stunning .
Anything `non grey` gets my vote !!

Will I ever see it ? Who knows ..

[roughcutter]

I think it looks hideous, as if the new colour scheme has been coddled together in a hurry. "Boris 2" to go with the "Boris 1" holiday jet.

its true, its no GINA but again, like it or loath it, its arguably better than nothing. I honestly do believe we needed to do something. its embarrassing being the only display team with pain jet at airshows. take the 100th anniversary season for eg, it was embarrassing. even foreign airforces made the effort to celebrate the uk 100 year anniversary, and frankly out shone us by miles. as mentioned in a previous post, i like it, although im kind of sick of seeing it on social media already

roll on midlands air fest..i need my airshow fix...
