Thought this may be of interest to the forum. November 2006 - Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft from 3Sqn, 17Sqn and 29Sqn of the Royal Air Force take to the skies over the Lincolnshire coast to perform a ’Diamond Nine’ formation. It is the first time that only single-seat aircraft are used in this formation, with the lead aircraft piloted by Group Captain Bob Judson. All three squadrons are based at RAF Coningsby, UK.  |

Neat. They're rather cool aircraft I reckon. Have any other air forces got the Typhoon in service yet? I assume Germany, France and other NATO countries will be using them?

Yeah, they are a pretty nice looking aircraft, although someone was saying a while ago (on this forum?) that the canards are in a bad position, as they can obstruct the view from the cockpit in some positions. Anyway, the Eurofighter website is pretty impressive and has some great pictures and videos on it - www.eurofighter.com/Enjoy!  |
