This is a rather chilled version of mass launch. Back in the 1980s we had a bit more hardcore stuff - getting an entire wing group airborne in 4 minutes from standstill. Planes were using taxiways and runways in both directions (just as a flight took off from one direction, another flight started their take off roll from the other direction). There's an interesting video about it kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3fbmXecf9Ofr8k

I think this is such an awesome display of air power at one time. I think all these planes are amazing. Even though I am a U.S. citizen and think we have some pretty great planes, however, I think the Tornado's and the Typhoons are amazing aircraft; very impressive!!!! Even though there are no Russian plays represented, some of the MIGS and sukhoi are totally dope. Additionally, f-16's may have been around for a long time and are flown by almost every Air Force that isn't communist; they are still very versatile planes. I cannot believe they have been in service since the early 1970's

Nah, since WW2 aircraft in use with the UK have been named after weather phenomena, Lightning (both P-38 and English Electric), Tempest, Hurricane, Typhoon and Tornado. The name Tornado is more a result of the mission close and fast above the ground and has heritage. Also it isn't an acquired name, unlike US aircraft that is the designation also.
@dorsetdumpling53875 жыл бұрын
It’s a tip vortex, and most wings generate them so not unique to the Tornado! These seem to be more pronounced than usual though, and certainly more pronounced than other a/c taking off at the same time.. the Tornado does have a wing tip fuel vent (as opposed to the fuel dump vent which is on top of the fin) so I wonder if the tanks have been brimmed up and that there is an overspill under the acceleration of takeoff?

Very nostalgic seeing the retro VN era jungle camo on not only the F-16s, but also on the F-15s. ?? Even in 2013 that was out of date. Was that the designation, along with the blue camo planes for the aggressor squadron?
