Not seen any news on the new Typhoon display pilot for 2025, have I missed it or has it not been announced yet? I thought around this time of year the new pilot would start his work up or more accurately work down 5,000 to 500 feet.

The pilot has begun their training but has not been officially announced by the RAF yet.

Ok thanks simon1, must be on the sim, not seen any NOTAMs for a display slot. Cheers!

New Display Pilot is Nathan Shawyer.

You will probably remember him as the last Tornado Pilot to pass out of training at Lossie,

Boy has done well,

Congratulation,

Thanks for the info Mark, look forward to him beginning his work up. Cheers

Anyone have any guesses as to when the new pilot will begin his practice displays?

February 4th to 6th between 10.00-15.15 local.

He did at least one last week over the coast, looked to be South of Donna Nook.

He should be doing he's first display over the base this week.

Regards.

Mark.

What time do they usually release the jet with a unique display scheme?

That is, If there is one?

Fairly sure it's already been said it will be a standard jet this year.

First practice over Coningsby just completed - looks like 2025 callsign is Reheat 01, with a crowd rear arrival.

Thanks for the info and update Mike.

Good day,
Are the practice times still 1000-1030hrs and nothing during the afternoon on a daily basis?

There are usually two slots a day, with one normally a back up.

The times in your notam above are 1345-1445 on the 25th, presumably due to night flying next week.

Mike

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I hadnt factored in night flying and must have missed afternoons on asdb.
