I had a realy good look at the Eurofighter Typhoon when I was based at Warton Lanc.For 4 months in 1998.A BAE test pilot was testing one of them, jeez he was throwing it around alot.Looked spectacular.

Yes, a bit confusing with the title of this post. It's odd how the EurofighterTyphoon didn't get the name Typhoon 2 as in the usual custom with namesakes, like the Phantom 2 etc. Sometimes you see it called the Typhoon F2, but not the F2 alone, a bit confusing with the Japanese F2 Mitsubishi. Out of respect for the original British Lightning, I don't think I'll ever get used to calling the F35 a Lightning 2. Maybe once they get it working properly, it'll be worthy of the name.

 

Cheers, Willie.

That would have been good to see, Dazza. They say they're very maneuverable, I suppose the canards would help that wing a fair bit.

Cheers, Willie.
