6x RAF Typhoon FGR4s that diverted to RAF Brize Norton prepare to depart for the USA 16-JAN-2025

I thought the MOD promoted all forms of Health and Safety. What happens at 00.57 in where the pilot climbs the ladder and turns around to fit his life preserver and has only his feet as points contact.

[@rokit5224]

Really? When he’s about to break the sound barrier?

[@jayyy254]

[@ydmaviation]

[@garyjackson1264]

How do they start the engines without external power?

[@ydmaviation]

In built APU

[@andysteavenson2983]

How longs their trip to the USA, anyone know?

[@ydmaviation]

Depends on how long Red flag is and if they have any other exercises planned while over

[@davidllewelyndavies2724]

Many thanks! Excellent. Forgive ignorance, but are those live missiles or dummies?

[@zulu5282]

Training rounds.

[@ydmaviation]

Dummies/instrument pods

[@Will.Strange]

Are they based there? And if so how long for?

[@IlluminaEpicly69]

No, they just diverted to brize Norton, Brize Norton only is the base of the A400, A330 and C17 and some other stuff, not fighter jets though.

[@ydmaviation]

Was a diversion after another typhoon broke a probe in one of the baskets. They were heading to the ISA for Rad Flag 25-1

[@ydmaviation]

Yes
