Fighter Plane Laser Tag | Top Gear

[@tangyorangesour]

Top Gear definitely has one of the best camera crew,not to mention the editing team!

+Reduxian-NOH They wouldn't buy fighter jets... I don't think they even can. A TV company can't buy military-grade fighter jets.

[@hotmojoe2483]

ElectricDragonFilms In america, although they’re ungodly expensive, I believe you can get permission to buy a decommissioned jet from the military as long as every possibility of having any sort of weapon on it has been either removed or decommissioned

5:25 is the funniest bit. "What I've done is I've hidden near the hiiills, behiiind a bucket". The way Jeremy says that is just priceless. As if the bucket is a forcefield that stops lasers.

Technically, a non-transparent bucket is a force field that stops the lasers. And any other type of light as well ;)
