low flying jet ?

[RS6BRIT]

Anyone in sunbury/staines area hear or see a low flying jet ?

Definitely military, very fast and extremely loud, I dashed out to see it but it was gone, hoping someone saw it and could tell what it was.

I must say its a bit unnerving, I mean they dont scramble them for nothing do they ?

Could be Tom Cruise doing Top Gun 2

Thankgod, I thought i was the only one, at least i know im not

Used to hear and see them reasonably often in the Scottish highlands, presumably on training exercises.  Unbelievably close to the floor sometimes.

The Typhoons are at RAF Northolt this weekend getting familiar with the area as they will be based there during the Olympics just in case they are needed

Some of this apparently.

Yeah Heard it over here in Hayes too... thought it was bass from the neighbours car untill it kept getting louder

[Tamiyoman]

Some of this apparently. 

I see the Typhoons now and again over the wash practicing maneuvres, about a year back there was 3 of them all doing nose up pirouettes then into stall turns, it was noisy as hell but impressive to watch

[RS6BRIT]

They are seriously impressive, its amazing just how aggressively they can change direction. I wish i'd been outside when it went over, I stood outside for half an hour freezing my tadgers off in the hope of a return flight!

How does the Typhoon compare to the Yank the stuff????

Out of interest....

[Hedge]

Compared to the F22-Raptor I think it gets a spanking.

The Typhoon is quite an old plane.
