@rkan2 not a fighter pilot, though, man. If he was a private pilot he was probably doing stuff like Cessnas, right? If you're doing that for a love, a dream would for sure be to go in one of these, I don't think the person was saying Teds dream was to get in a plane
I'm really questioning the narrative here. There was a German UA-camr who got to fly with an Eurofighter from the German military and he had to go through a full day of medical and physical testing + countless safety instructions and so on, to be even allowed inside of the plane. So I guess that can't be that spontaneous.. or they just don't give a f?
@@billystanford275 He is often reciting aircraft types and flight numbers on Ted's notebook. There is an article about him becoming a pilot if he didn't become a presenter. So yeah..
SKY SPORT: George, we've arranged for you to do loops in a jet fighter plane. LANDO: ...and what have you organised for me?! SKY SPORT: Game of cricket against Oscar.
I love listening to Bjork but hadn't actually heard this track before and I was thinking, one of my favorite things about watching these Sky F1 specials is, the music is always on point and right up my alley. A feeling further solidified by hearing Air right after it.
I was gonna say this!!!! What a banger! Amazing track, David Arnold is underrated. May be a Bjork song, but it's his at heart. Even some Air later on too!
Kids, can 100% attest to joining the RAF as an aircraft engineer. I loved my time, which then led me to join BAe and was part of the design team on (Eurofighter) Typhoon. And always remember, if flying was hard it'd be the groundcrew doing it🤔 Well done Sky Sports F1 and really nice words from Ted too. Having flown back seat a number of times, I knew exactly what you felt
George looks that he could do that every day, and at full G. What an experience for them both, and the RAF will even pay you to do it if you're good enough too.
Lol they where not pulling many G forces.. george might be used to lateral g forces but positive and negative forces is a completely another thing. At 9 g George would pas out just like anybody who isnt trained for this
@@User05199 There's quite a few familiarisation flights here on youtube of military personnel in the US getting taken to the 9g club in the F-16, you would be surprised how many of them don't actually pass out.
Ofcourse the duration of pulling g's matters. Most of the time those are short pulls. U gotta understand a typhoon or f16 can pull 9 g's without losing speed
This is exactly why I love aviation and fighter jets! Out of this world. Hopefully I'll be one of the Lietenants one dy flying these beautiful jets over the earth.
Respect that George gets in there, well now there might not only be Formula 1 for him. It's been like this for me since I was up in heaven, he calls out to me. I hope pilots that it's the same for George.
I am sure George and Ted were absolutely thrilled being up there. What an experience. I have to say I was impressed by Ted. Unlike George he is not used to Pulling G's, but he did it anyway. Respect!
This segment was super cool. In 20 years time assuming Ted is still working and George has retired from F1(hopefully as a multi-WDC), I'd love to watch a series of these two trying out different fighter planes from the various air forces around the world. Rafales, Super Hornets, Flankers, Vipers, Eagles...
My girlfriend works here and does all the batteries for these typhoons. These things are absolutely insane. I will happily spend hours by the airfield watching takeoffs when I visit her. Absolutely incredible bits of kit.
George looks like if you recorded this in black and white he would be a spitfire pilot, let's have a cup of tea then go kick the chocks, has this made him want to get his pilots licence maybe he has , actually getting up in the Typhoon and a refuel at altitude , jealous, what an experience . Go RAF.
Never thought i would see the day of George in the RB19
It was more like W11

Broo i was waiting for a clip of him actually in one until i realized the joke.... GGWP

As an aviation geek and as a F1 fan this is simply amazing.
It sent shivers down my spine, the footage
@@hazikaiyan5903 same here👌
And the cherry on top to me, the Eurofighter, my favorite Fighter jet 💪🏻😎🔝
tell me you're a virgin without telling me your a virgin
As a fellow av geek and f1 fan yes i can indeed validate your claim
Petition to release the un-cut hour long footage 👇🏻
💪
That would be awesome
God yes
My thoughts exactly!… it’s gotta be some amazing experience!… incredible stuff ❤
Please!!!
Honestly Russell actually looks like a proper fighter pilot in that flight suit
Ted didnt look half bad either.
He aced the voiceover too
Just wished the journo would shut up and let George chat with the pilot.
You can tell Teds genuine smile at 2:23 trying to play down that his dreams have come true
Wasn't he a private pilot..

Thank you Mr psychiatrist, you are ofc right
This is truly beautiful. So much respect to the pilots that are able to fly these machines at full potential.
And the engineers/flight ops/people that keep them airborne
to be fair, this aircraft would not be able to even fly if it were not for its incredibly complicated computers
@GloomGaiGar exactly which means all u need to do is fire a emp missle n u take the whole sortie out haha.
Pffff just in time, saved you from 666 likes.
God bless Ted Kravitz. You can see how excited he is when he’s told. It’s a dream come true for him and you can see how much he enjoyed it
Amen. He kind of looks around to see if he is being pranked. Tes is the every man. I think a lot of us his age identify with him.
I don’t think that’s how it works
Ted Kravitz is such a putz.
Should of pressed the ejector seat on him mid air. Most biased reporter in F1!!
I would of been crying my eyes out at that point.
Ted's little face when they told him, how precious.
I like Ted ,really like his presence for sky f1.

Haha 😨😥😂,he more good on private jet 😊👍
To be fair lando got to fly with the reds 🤣. Can’t be better than that
Oh the Typhoon is a world apart from a hawk that the reds fly@@gauravsmatharu
Amazing seeing the wash over the canopy going at speed from inside.
Ted looked proper excited but keeping it professional too
The forces on these must be unimaginable!
AND he got an air to air refuel ... dude thats LEGENDARY!
George genuinely looked the part.
He has the look of a dashing 1940s pilot
No doubt if he wasn't an F1 driver, he could be a fighter pilot. Same goes with all of the other F1 drivers.
Is it a coincidence that the editor used that intro, considering George bears a resemblance to Tobey Maguire.
Good catch
More like gollum…
@@markdonalds7735 Blimey, my bloody precioussss
Actually,he looks more like Woody from Toy story,but ok😂
These f1 extras are always so well done. Big props!
l love George Russell so much after that intro 😂😂 nailed it!!
The editor clearly remembered Clarkssons speed machines where he flew an F-15 to the background music of the same Bjork song.
Kudos to the editors for picking such an underrated song at 4:02, it's Bjork's "Play Dead", a hidden track from her first album
Think it was used when Clarkson was throwing up in the back of an F-15 😂

Into the heavens like a homesick angel. Only Kravitz would write such a line. You just have to love him.
It's a quote of a quote, referring to the vertical climb characteristics of the English Electric Lightning interceptor.
These pilots are infinitely more competent than any F1 driver as it is so fast and in multiple dimensions. They are incredible

Respect to every air force member who are out there protecting the skies of their nations🫡
Aww man, I’m so jealous !!! Great little film, you can tell the boys loved it by the look on their face. Amazing.
George is such a great role model for boys and girls and a great human being. ❤
This is both outstanding and unexpected - well done you all!
That was amazing! Would love to see more footage!
George was cool as a cucumber, looked very natural in flight gear. Bet he'd make a fine pilot.
Respect to the production team. Gorgeous piece. *Oh and the commentary by Ted as well.
That would be simply amazing. What a wonderful adventure for George and Ted.
What a present to be given the chance to fly like that and even the refueling, wow, truly a dream come true for any mortal.
This is exactly why I love aviation and fighter jets! Out of this world. Hopefully I'll be one of the Lietenants one dy flying these beautiful jets over the earth.
For non-F1 fans, Ted Kravitz is himself a pilot
I love Ted, so glad he got to go up!
Brilliant feature seeing the connections between F1 and fighter jets. Great camera work and a great team at RAF Conningsby
This is so cool .. Thank you for this .. smiles all around
Legends! Thanks for making it happen!
Brilliant! Love seeing Ted so excited! 😀
Ted looks like he's been doing this his whole life! Congrats on the flight!
Seeing Ted this happy makes me incredibly happy indeed
Great, respect to the RAF and the great pilots.
Ted looks like a kid at Christmas when he gets told .
Who wouldn't getting a 20k$ gift 😂
Make that 50k$ considering the in-air refueling loool
Absolutely loved it!!!! Ted is a star!!!
Respect that George gets in there, well now there might not only be Formula 1 for him. It's been like this for me since I was up in heaven, he calls out to me. I hope pilots that it's the same for George.
really cool :) god bless our RAF!
We were in Scarborough on the beach when they flew over, love the jet fighters
I am sure George and Ted were absolutely thrilled being up there. What an experience. I have to say I was impressed by Ted. Unlike George he is not used to Pulling G's, but he did it anyway. Respect!
See these all the time in the Lakes and every time it sends shivers !
Wow!!! Thank you for taking me along!!!
Dream mate, absolute dream
LOVED watching this. awesome content.
You lucky rascals!! What an experience that must have been…❤️
Ted: THIS PLANE IS AWE-

TWO SECONDS TED
Epic- love the top gun music too haha

I Work at tatershall lakes as a cleaner seeing these jets go by every monday and friday is amazing to see
Loved that. Very cool indeed. I did a weeks long camp at Conningsby when I was a cadet in 1993. Snogged a girl. It was brilliant.
Same here 1996 :D
Lucky boys, absolutely brilliant
Lovely footage :)
My dad was an engineer based at RAF Conningsby. He left shortly before being promoted to Sergeant.
NOTE BOOK… Ted with his note book… always ready… top man. Brilliant video. 😊
amazing, one complaint, you had the PERFECT chance to open the video with the Top Gun theme song! sad day but all around great video
this is absolutely crazy
George nailed the narrating. Another carrier path unlocked, I guess.
One of the best features you have ever done. Really appreciated how respectful you all seemed of the work our armed forces do.
I love how much it meant to Ted to get up there!
Jolly good great to see that they both loved it 😂
My girlfriend works here and does all the batteries for these typhoons. These things are absolutely insane. I will happily spend hours by the airfield watching takeoffs when I visit her. Absolutely incredible bits of kit.
the Royal Air Force is so lucky to have the Eurofighter, I’ve always loved it’s triangle shape.
Ted absolutely deserved this experience. He is an avgeek and loves all things aviation. I'm glad you go to go on these Ted!
That is so cool! Great video!!!
Good vidéo 👍 congratulations and salutations to you from french navy rafale squadron 17F 12F 11F 👌🤗🥰🇫🇷💖🇬🇧
So good! What a dream come true!
There’s been a number of these being a star along for a joyride type things but this is by far the best. Great to see air to refuelling and some BFM.
Love that livery on the KC2
What an incredible experience.
I was waiting for the moment of "Two secs Ted" when Ted queued up the mic
Great video

Okay so are we going to talk about the top gun anthem included at the slow mo walking shot and at other parts of this video?!🥰😍
That is one beautiful jet..
The army people are soo polite and pleasant.. These are fighter pilots!
"ascend into the heavens, like a homesick angel." Whoever wrote that, well done.
Awesome, well done guys 😃
gosh I love George haha
What a fantastic feature.
Saw Blackjack at RIAT yesterday, always puts on a good show.
Wow incredible!… is there an extended version !… so beautiful ❤
Now George needs to get these amazing pilots into a two seater f1 car and return the favour.
That would be dull for the pilots
04:03
what an extraordinary fitting music, gave me the chills 😢
Great video…. A lil heavy on the top gun music. That’s the Navy 😉
I would love to do this, they are lucky boys.
That was incredible, Ted was so moved by it and I can see why, wish Lewis was there too
So awesome.
he's doing the iconic sonic intro
When you see it on the tarmac, it looks like it badly wants to get in the air and fly (Tornado and F16 also have that look) --Bob Bailey in Maine, USA
Wow just wow how awesome 👏🏻
Thank you for not restricting this video to my country, unlike the other videos.
Would love to do that. Amazing.
