RAF Tornado GR4 on low flying training through North Wales. Low flying is an essential competency for aircrew to hone their aircraft handling skills whilst operating low and fast.
I was a Tornado GR 4 pilot until 7 years ago. That could have even been me. Did lots of low flying training in the Mach loop. Great video and I love the music too
666MikeRochip thanks a lot. Yes girls can do anything if given the chance. I rose to rank of Sqn Ldr. And proud if it.nThe tornado will be retired soon which is sad but the Typhoon is next generation. Regards to NZ from UK.
666MikeRochip Thanks I worked hard to gain my wings and served in Iraq and Afghanistan before I retired. Flying is in my blood and to be a Top Gun was what I was meant to be. Great but poignant memories.
Great on board view there and good choice on the tune! I love how "Universal Nation" can be heard mixed in to the end of "1999". Must be from an old Gatecrasher compilation or MOS etc but it's completely innocent and makes me smile. Classic aircraft, classic tune, classic vid well done!
0:15 that moment when your like...OH CRAP BY COMPUTER MAP THINGY IS UPSIDE DOW! and fly into a mountian while your distracted trying to turn it right side up....
Geeky question: What's the purpose of the two hand controllers on each side of the rear cockpit canopy? They don't look conveniently positioned at all.
If my ageing brain serves me correctly they are for chaffing and flaring in combat roles (active grab handles), more accessible in g-manoeuvres, and trance volume/bass control in training roles :)
yup .. when they come in low, they are very, very quick .. and very loud ! my favourite plane ;) you will hear them before you see them .. but only slightly ;)

You go girl! Britain's finest. Wot a beautiful smile aswell :-)
We must have loads of mutual friends / contacts, Christine. Which squadrons were you on?
How did you get into fast jet flying?

music is well suited, binary refinery is a sick track
agree ;)
1998 Binary Finary - Gouryella Remix....love a bit of 90's dance!!
Loved it...how amazing how many probably ancient tracks through and over the mountains!
Gail Crissey-Kanaga your imagination went flying :)
nice video .. & lovin the music !
Great video...thanks 👍
Mate, very cool!!!
When I was off my tits on E's in the 90's music track is well suited to this sort of larking about in the hills of North Wales for fucks sake.

Hi Andy, I wonder if you know my dad Darren L 14sq then 100sqn wgr cmd. Just been looking for footage and remember an Andy being one of his mates.
Nice video. Certainly covers a fair bit of ground there
very nice,is there any possibility of telling where you were from 0.30-1.06 as that looks a good place to catch and photograph you guys training
How did you get a ride?

@@kmckinlay8070 Thanks, that does make sense. Bass IS critical!
how high are they flying here
This arouses me...this arouses me alot
Name the tune please gunvna....
No wonder John Leslie was sick!!
shame you didnt go through Mach loop on this noticed bala lake tho :P
Kill the volume. Pull up Pete Townsend's "A Little is Enough."
Then sit back and rock out.
Could have been enjoyable without the NOISE!
Whatever fella!
speed looks like 250 knots
Pause it anywhere around1:08-1:16 and you will see the speed is between 400-450 knots or .7 Mach. This is a Tornado not a Tucano fella!

Great flying video but awful music. I just want to hear the jet and aircrew
Errrtio
take away the music and lets hear some cockpit talk
Ruined by the gay music
