- closeup video of AWAC, Eurofighter Typhoon, and Tornado GR4 taking off.
Much reheat and noise, best not to wear earphones when watching this video - Авто та транспорт
Those Typhoons doing max climbs... Beauty! I also love watching the Tornado fly. Still an awesome machine after all of these years!
Travis C
Travis C yes the Tornado still is an awesome machine and the best at low level flying. Unfortunately it’s time is limited and I for one will be very sad as I was a RAF Tornado GR4 pilot and still have a great fondness for it.
Spectacular RAF Coningsby loved watching this. Hats off to everyone. ❤ The Typhoons were amazing.
Great video! Always loved the Tornado. All I wanted to be as a kid in the 80's was a Tornado pilot - then I found out I was colour blind. Having said that you gotta love the way the Typhoon just leaps into the air and then goes straight up. Really do need to get over there and see this first hand.
+whitemoor66 I wish I'd gone in the RAF now
Great video and highlights the great viewing areas around Coningsby. We are so lucky to have this much access to the military and they actively get involved with the enthusiasts. Thanks for filming and posting.
thanks Daryl. yeh we're very lucky to have great bases in bomber county
I think they would consider the enthusiasts a form of security, they would probably be the first to spot someone dodgy.
@@flybobbie1449 it would be nice if UK rail companies thought the same about rail enthusiasts as an extra pair of eyes
The Tornado is a monster, watched many combat takeoffs by the Italian Air Force in the late nighties whilst deployed at Gioia Del Colle. Also saw Harriers and Warthogs deploy, what an amazing sight to see.
Gorgeous views, especially of the Tornadoes.

Fantastic sweet noise! Still love the Tornado after-burners!
Excellent....those first two tornadoes takeoff, made my day
Thanks Chris
One minute on the deck,next your up alongside holiday makers on way to sunny spain lol...If we had these when I was in service,would have stayed in,Tornado was just coming in but missed out flying her....good video,thanks.
Brilliant views the two steep EF climbs are nothing short of spectacular
thank you Thomas.
Amazing shots. I particularly like the Tornados. Thanks for sharing.
The acceleration difference with reheat is spectacular.
Well, I recognized three squadron badges; 29 Sqn with the XXX and the pouncing black shitehawk, shiney six with the flying can-opener and 41 with the double armed red cross. Brings back real memories for me because they were some of the squadrons who passed through Coningsby while I was stationed there in the early 70's. They were converting from Lightnings to Phantom FGR2's to carry on the good work of chasing away the Russian Bears. Happy days!
Thanks,enjoyed this video. I stand on the tump at Coningsby and enjoy meeting the spotters,very nice guys.
Tornadoes, awesome afterburner!!
+Baybee K thanks
What a fabulous video... amazing.. and the difference the burners make when the Typhoons open up the taps..
Simply the greatest true fighter in the world.
Thank you
The panavia take offs.....wow
There's a lot more love for a Tornado than a Typhoon in the RAF ;)
+Thinking Rainbows Not amongst the pilots and aircrew I know.
The Tornado was and is a very effective plane, but it's old now and hard to maintain, and Typhoon is on a different level of performance.
+Thinking Rainbows typhoon tornado fantastic aircraft
Must be one of the best Conningsby vids ever. Nice one. 👍🏻
Thank you VERY much.
Probably the nicest comment I've ever had.
Paul
Love RAF coningsby and the campsite
4:25 wasted seat there. I could have been in the back. My dream that
Yes I noticed a few empty back seats on those Euro's I'm pretty skinny lol wouldn't take up mush room hahahaha
Really great footage,thanks for sharing.
Myfactory62 thank you very much
Excellent video! I rarely see afterburner from the typhoons up there so great to see this
I love watching jets land and take off, nice video!
Thanks Tim
Great video.... Excellent camera and lens
Thanks for sharing
Ian
Ian Jay Thanks Ian, pleased you liked it
Terrific video, made my day. Thank you.
+QPulsar1 Thanks very much for watching and leaving a comment, if you like this then please check out my other videos as there are loads of aviation vids similar

Paul
+ArcturanMegadonkey thank you
Great vid Paul
MRCA still my favourite. Saw the first ones at Briitish Aerospace, Warton as an apprentice many years ago. Was involved in the building of the Radar/Laser test facility and fast fuel systems for the MRCA (before being called Tornado). Still have my name on the many of the As Built drawings as my claim to fame. I am surprised that you can get so near to the runway in this current climate. Might take a trip up one day with my big 400mm lens on my 5dMkII.
HH Mal
***** Thanks Mal, I used my 70-300mm lens on them with the Canon 700D, the base is used to enthusiasts but do check up from time to time to ask what were up to if we're at other descreet locations as we were that day, didn't know that's what you used to do, love the Tornado's (Tonka's)
Brilliant video!
c8136132 Thank you
When someone mentioned to me they had been listening to the tornadoes ....I replied yeah fabulous band from the 1960's and ...."TELSTAR" my favourite record from them!!!!!
cracking vid pleasure to watch thanks.
+mick tisdall Thanks Mick, pleased you like it, please sub as there will be more like this in the future
all the best
Paul
Great video greetings from Peru
+carlos alvarez rivera Thank you Carlos
Wonderful footage some sure can take off with out much runway and go straight up. have a wonderful day karla
Karla Tiller-Barclay Thanks Karla
Some mighty short take offs with afterburners..:)
I have my headphones on full throttle im in heaven with the noise
Compared to how the Tornado's take off, the Typhoons cant even keep up. It's not a takeoff if one cant see those afterburners blasting in style... And for that the Tornado's take the cup
Nice film lads, and well recorded too
thanks very much
Fantastic.
Great bit of filming Mate!! Reminds me of Coltishall in the 1960's watching the Lightnings being scrambled.
John Smith Thanks very much John. there's tons more videos similar to this on my channel
all the best
Paul
+John Smith As a child I listened to an audiobook called 'Thunder and Lightnings' which evoked Coltishall in the 1980s, just before they left to be replaced by Jaguars. Endlessly jealous.
+Edward James Yeah, at the height of the Cold War (which my American acquaintances tell me they won) I used to sit with mates on a crash gate at Coltishall to watch the aircraft coming and going. One really quiet day there was a sudden scramble, the sounds of hooters and a pair of interceptors being fired up. Colt was considered front line then, along with Marham which had Victor refuelling tankers. and the various radar and communications installation scattered about the county. Anyway the Lightnings did a fast taxi, lifted off dead opposite where we sat then just stood up on their tails and disappeared. Apparently there was special concrete in that area to withstand the blast. One hopes that when they reached altitude a minute or so later, the friendly Victor was there to refuel them!
We also had Thor nuclear missiles based on another Norfolk airfield not far from where I now live. Front line Norfolk without a doubt!
Rockets with wings, incredible machines.
We had a decent aircraft with the Tornado & I miss the old girl
Love it !
+Christopher Meier thanks Christopher, if you like this you'll love the chinook video I filmed at RAF Donna nook where it was straffing at night!! go check it out
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Bravo!!
Thanks!!!!!😉
Brilliant footage
Thanks very much
Wow i turned the volume down in advance lol , amazing footage i would love to have been so close , John takes me the run way at Liverpool airport when they are landing not the same best wishes :)
jackie smith you would've loved it Jackie.
absolutely amazing video u uploaded there I'm from Dundee and iused to go to Leuchars and see the typhoons and the tornados in till they moved to Lossiemouth.i see there packed the missiles ect where is they go target practicing just like up in tain?.7.
They used to use RAF Wainfleet and Donna nook but now nowhere as they're finished :(
Thought I heard they've mothballed the two-seater Typhoons just recently.
Quality video my friend, enjoyed watching it with a nice pint of cider, thanks.
+henryvagincourt thanks very much Henry, sorry for late reply
Worry not, my off duty night was very enjoyable. Thanks for sharing.
+henryvagincourt thanks, there are quite a few similar vids on my channel and I expect to be making a few more, hope you've watched the Chinook straffing at Donna nook????? you'll LOVE IT!
+ArcturanMegadonkey I will have a look see, some of the best footage I've seen from Coningsby.
+henryvagincourt thank you, I aim to be creating more vids from Conningsby next year so please subscribe

I spent 5 years with the Phantoms and Tornado ’at RAF coningsby that bring back memory’s.prem
Random guy at a bar - " I drive a 250hp race car!"
RAF Typhoon Pilot - " that's cute."

ArcturanMegadonkey 😂😂 nice 👍🏼
Stunning video , from 2:57 onwards how did you get that close to them taking off is there an area there can do it from. Please reply thanks
I think he zoomed through the fence
Bonjour, une petite question, a-t-il déjà eu un prototype du typhon en version naval ? 🤔 Ci non superbes images merci beaucoup pour tout ça 👍😘🇫🇷🌹
Nice video mate, Was you on stepladder to get that video?, also is there any particular days they are most active? Ive read they fly Monday-Friday. I just want to make sure when I decide to go I get in a decent position to grab some half decent pictures. Ive got a 550D and 70-300mm lens, so should be able to get something decent.
+Steven Price sorry for late reply, I was actually stood balancing on a fence lol.
most days are quit active down there. 500D and 70-300 should be fine, I use the 700D and a 70-300 L series lens to film this, checkout one of my videos about wind shield for Canons as you'll find it really useful
Nice!
Nice video:-) Are those twin seat Typhoons combat capable?
There's a version off the training that is combat ready
the best ever.can any body out there.tell me how short of runway they need. thanks
That's it then, I'm off to Conningsby. It looks amazing.
+John Hanslip Thanks John, yeah when the tonka's go out they always use reheat
Superb! Whereabouts were you watching from? The car park at the end of old boston road?
gixxerman69 Thank you. I was right near the end of the runway metal bars, and the mound
Damn, that acceleration!
fast aren't they
Superb
Thank you
29 sqn was my first posting, fgr2 phantoms proper loud nothin beats the smell of jet eflux
Thankyou guys How often does this happen ? Might have to come up and meet you guys this year cv permitting....
Tornado's are now scrap. All you get at Conningsby is Typhoons
Fantastic footage mate ! Might have to come here again with a camera next time round, last time I was there I got some books signed by ex Phantom / Tornado F3 nav David Gledhill ☺ top guy. Thanks for sharing, when I go I shall be using my Nikon D3100 with 70 -300mm lens, did you use tripod ?
Hi Mike, sorry for late reply.
No I just held the camera with 70-300mm lens as steady as a I could!
take ear plugs or ear defenders lol
@@ArcturanMegadonkey lol not a problem buddy ☺ I will do when I next head down to Coningsby, when it's a bit warmer 😆 hope your doing well ?
@@mkmdexplorationparanormal5610 yeah too dam cold to stand filming aircraft!
am good thanks, hope you are too
nice one mate .. spectacular .. Ged
PeaceHavens Thanks mate, hoping to get out and do some detecting but it's been a busy year
Nice video, but i didn't see any Tornado GR4s. Just AWACs and Eurofighter Typhoons. Awesome aircraft.
5:26
Great footage.
Thank you
Thank you for posting it. It's been over a decade since I got to stand outside Coningsby. It was a timely reminder I need to go again. Also Eccentrica Gallumbits said to say hi. ;-)
Oh the triple breasted whore of eroticicon 6....she's a baaaaad girl
If the RMAF evr's gonna get this 'Typhoon', 'Rafale' or Super Hornet jet. I hope they'd get the "Twin Seat" version, as they did with the Sukhoi-MKMs & the D-version of Hornets.
When I went to conningsby we went to the atc tower and a fighter pilot waved to us using his elevators
@2:39, could have been curtains for bird and engine!
Bon visuel.
Wow!
Did the solo typhoon abort takeoff near the end? Any reason why?
+David Elms he was doing leak tests so taxied round, full power and reheat then abort.
the last two taxied out and then went back in, think the weather was too bad by then
thanks for watching, will be worth subing to my channel if you liked this as there'll be plenty more this year
all the best
Paul
Brilliant video... any reason why the tornado takes so long to go into reheat? thanks.. Asked a german air force pilot during an airshow and the answer was just a procedural thing. any ideas thanks?
+Stephen Gauci Thanks Stephen, pleased you liked the video.
from what I've been told it's down to heat spread i.e. they have to wait for the whole engine to reach temperature before slaming in the reheat. Typhoons use modern engines and don't have this problem.
hope that helps
all the best
Paul
+ArcturanMegadonkey Yeah that's basically it. They have to stabilise the engine and note the temperatures for trend tracking. Before each sortie they note down the dry temperatures at max before knocking into reheat to take off that's why there's a pause before they kick the afterburners in. As the engines go through their maintenance cycle their performance slowly degrades, by tracking the temperatures the engineers can identify if they are failing earlier than the proscribed maintenance periodicity and then if needed call them in before they fail catastrophically. They also use magnetic plugs in various spots throughout the engines and gearboxes to pick up any 'iron filings' that may be produced by failures too. They are also checked on set periodicity, unless the engine has a history of poor performance in which case they will be checked more often.
+Stephen Gauci check my reply to Arcturan below, it expands on his.
+Timothy Baxter Thanks for the great explanation Timothy.
all the best
Paul
+Timothy Baxter thanks alot much appreciated
Every time I see an empty back seat in a Typhoon its a missed once in a lifetime opportunity.
Will miss them Tonkas. 😪
How cool is the Tiffi and the Tonka is a legend no need to prove anything when you send footage like this awesome machine's flown by crack pilots , the best simple
Thanks Mark, I love to see Tonka's taking off
cracking video
+gash923 Thank you very much, hope you sub'd as I intend on bringing out more vids like this as I film them,
sorry for the late reply
all the best
Paul
Is that a Lightning over there in the background?
yes it is, not sure what it's used for and very much doubt it runs
I like it
Where is this filmed from pal?
Coningsby
Back in the day we could get a whole squadron in the air in 4 minutes ----what would we do now ?
We'd be knackered now!
This bird at 2:38 was like: oh shit, better get the fuck outta here or i get fried xD
Love watching the Typhoon get off the ground without having to bust its' balls and melt the planet with reheat. Loved my time at 'sby when the F3s were there but they just had no guts
At least all those dry power take offs saves us some money. GB has little treasure and virtually no blood left for a fight.
I'm sure there's some left in reserve!
cool.
Thank you
this airbase is fantastic place you could get your own airshow their it is in Lincolnshire
+Tom Farrow yes it's in Lincolnshire
💙
Is it like this most days? Crazy
some days are like this but sometimes it's just Typhoons
ArcturanMegadonkey amazing. I want to come one day i guess you just got to show up and hope for the best??
yes, week days other than Friday should be ok
Pass me the toasting fork Marjorie!
at 7:16 the man in front seat was the Station Commander
I spent 3 years on 17(F) Black Hands RAF Tornado squadron in Germany after we fazed out the 17 squadron jags. Top plane even when they banned the JP233 anti airfield armaments ;-)
LOVE Tonkas. shame they're about gone
Still don't understand why they not being used on the new aircraft carrier along with the f35
+Shane Digweed why what aren't being used?
+Shane Digweed because the aircraft need a long take off
still laughing at the 'think's he's at Brunt' comment @12.00
I remember when the awacs where there and they had to taxi up the runway because they were to big
too
GOOD STUFF... hows your EARS???
Ray Hansen Thank you, I wore ear defenders lol
great film,i was there mid week just watching them take off.i didnt take my camera.grrr
barry norman Thanks Barry, there was a lot going on and pleased to see the Tonka's getting out with full burners
hello ,ArturanMegadonkey...greetings from miftahjaya96 channel, you have a great video,,,,,tks
Thank you
It is interesting that most of the Typhoons didn't use afterburner during take off. Great way to save fuel.
Davey Barton I think they have plenty of power, if it's a performance take off they do and of course if a QRA take off they do. really nice to see when they do use reheat.
thanks for watching and commenting
Paul
Davey Barton Big push "dry" of the engine of the Typhoon compared to the Tornado ...Over 30 years of technology between them....
As a taxpayer I cannot help but think of all the food that could be bought for the poor starving little orphans by not burning so much Avjet on reheat. Bah humbug, pass me that damned toasting fork Marjorie!
on the underneath of the typhoons are they real bombs or dummies?
Fuel tanks
ArcturanMegadonkey ah thanks for the info
The Tornados were all landing I think, the only afterburners were from Typhoons. Personally, I grew up watching English Electric Lightnings take off in Vertical Climbs, that was Impressive too.
Lightning F3 XR749/Q. This is the one that intercepted a U2 from above, at 82,000 feet if I remember and overtook a Concorde at Mach 2.2.
