Aaaaaaaahundred percent. Dude's energy and humor is unmatched.

Love the fact that Tim has such high energy at 2am!

Stopped the booze but picked up rec drugs instead

[@waynetowers5046]

Tim is mega funny when he talks about his RAF career. You'd want him in your squadron no matter what. Such a cool guy, and on top of that, he's based AF!

[@georgecooksey8216]

This was a fun top-notch show. Hope to see Tim back for another episode.

[@FusionMonkey847]

Spent two weeks in England last year on an RAF Heritage tour, more or less. We met many aviation-centered Brits and absolutely had a blast with all of them. Can't wait to go back.

[@LILIAANVisser]

This was another great episode and Tim was an awesome guest on the show!!!

[@crazybadger617]

Holy cow...how much coffee did Tim drink before coming on? So much energy. Great interview.

Tim is funny as heck. MORE TIM

[@angusmcangus7914]

Good stuff. I was on the Tornado when it was the GR1 in the 1980s based in Norfolk and West Germany. Took it across the pond to US and Canada. Flew it for seven years/1200 hours. Known as The Fin, The Tonka or The Norfolk Land Shark. Happy days.

[@gershonportnoy5589]

Great staff, bonkers chemistry and fun💥

[@YorkshirePirate]

Love Tim. Great guest. More please.

[@MichaelSmith-il3wm]

Tim is a keeper!!! ✈️🛩️🛬

[@GeoffJensen]

I could listen to Tim read the phone book, he's a great storyteller.

[@matt-rn8ge]

Do more stuff with Tim. What a guy

[@michaelbevan3285]

with impressive timing, the Tornado was retired when it had achieved maximum utility. It could carry anything in the inventory and do serious damage and it was grounded in no time at all.

[@EvoraGT430]

It's usually the case with every type.

[@SigmundPimpulopis]

Hilarious! More Tornado tales please!

[@johnmorrison8942]

Thanks

[@themoverandgonkyshow]

Thanks for the support John!

[@rynopot]

I LOVE Tim in the interviews. He is so focused when he does his own channel, but MY is he a funny guy when he is in an interview!

[@pf6797]

Legend 😊

[@williamsharp5973]

Hilarious - bring him back often!

[@380Scania]

Ah Tim dropping some humour and info from the attack shack. Really enjoy his channel

[@yanniskouretas8688]

I really like Tim and his channel . He is LEGIT ! We're the same age (I just still serve but in another air force - and not a pilot) - same non political correct attitude - old school airmen,,,

[@garyramirez1420]

I love the Brits😅

[@gregorymaupin6388]

He’s absolutely hilarious!

[@mikeck4609]

Do yourself a favor. Go to the 1:00 mark, set your KZbin to .5x speed….and listen to 1:30.

[@chgr7025]

That was perfectly timed! Ha! Definitely caught more of what he said in that part of the story while it was slowed a bit.

[@mikeck4609]

And at .5x speed, he’s telling the story exactly the way he he did in the bar that night; authenticity!

[@richieford3176]

😂

[@walkb4uhuntnz760]

I listened to the whole ep on Podcast and Tim is a great story teller. Where’s the story about stapling squadron members to the wall lol.

[@TurboHappyCar]

This guy is great 😂👍

[@bowser515]

Our most iconic "fighter bomber" is probably the Mosquito. But yeah, the Tornado is awesome! I really miss seeing them flying around. I mostly see F-15's from Lakenheath now, some Typhoons and the odd F-35 up high. The Tornados were different, they'd regularly fly over nice and low, it was a sight to behold.

[@pattylacasse5193]

Fun interview!!

[@LEJapproach]

0:10 - German here. Germany did (and [by 2024] still does) fly the Tornado and this pronunciation with an ah-sound is how it's pronounced in German. We have the same word with the same meaning but this slightly different pronunciation. Maybe that's the answer to the riddle? 🤷‍♂

[@felixthecat265]

It's pronounced "Tonka" guys.. A toy made of heavy metal that the Kids can't break too quickly!

[@KrisRamJ]

Awesome to see Tim on your channel, more please!

[@bruschi8148]

Tim is hilarious!!! He needs to be a regular……..

[@deet5072]

1:10 in and Love it, get this guy on more often :D not that you guys are not entertaining but i suspect this will give a little more appeal to those of us across the pond

I can't get enough of Tim. Hilarious. I reckon that his courses would be totally rad (guessing that is what the Gen Z trainee pilots would call it?).

[@Ispeared]

This is hilarious... Thinking Tim has an IV of caffeine into his ankle, def cannot see it upstairs. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Mad as a box of frogs

[@michaelnewell9662]

at least the GR4 pilots are honest with themselves that they fly a bomber. the USAF F-16's and Navy/Marine F/A-18's are bombers with a hint of fighter. what percentage of actual combat missions were flown as CAP? 1%? less? who drops bombs? bombers.

[@AT-ni4sf]

Mover....it is "Tornado" when the brits says it. The Germans says " Tornaaardo" . You're welcome. Greetings from Scandinavia

617 wouldn't want women serving because they would have to change the name of the squadron from 'Dambusters' to 'Jambusters' !🤣😅

[@vaudevillian7]

I’ve never heard anybody call it a Torn-ardo - I think that’s just a mispronunciation

[@bryanmaloy4797]

Hilarious...

[@valkoharja]

That was fun. Could have done without the old man "wokery" rant (another old man here).

[@sam8742]

It's so annoying hearing any stupid choice be called "woke" and then it becomes this massive generalisation on progressive politics.

[@exharkhun5605]

Tor-nah-do is probably how the Germans call them. It is how we Dutch pronounce it and our languages are related (not saying they stole the language, the thieves 😁).
