Way too low insane 22 eurofighter typhoons landing at RAF coningsby 17 th June 2023

Way too low Insane multiple euro fighter typhoon landings !!!!!!

[Rob-hcry]

Part of the training is that it’s necessary to get really low to land an aircraft … it helps to get the wheels to touch the runway .

"Way too low" & "Insane the one thing I've always noticed about aircraft, just how insanely low they have to get 'TO LAND'!🙄🙄

My Dad was stationed at Coningsby in the late 60's. Me and my mates used to sit on the crash gates, just yards from the runway, We were only eight year olds. We would watch Vulcans, Victors, Lightnings and Phantoms landing and taking off. Just imagine being 100 feet away from a Vulcan taking off. As mischievous lads we would sneak around the base and go places we shouldn't go. What an adventure. I will never forget my childhood in the RAF.

I'm not an expert, but I think you have to get pretty low to land. If you stand at the runway threshold, then that's you way too close, not the plane way too low.

I don't know what is more shocking the planes or that guys cow shorts.

Saw Typhoon at Blackpool airshow last year and it was awesome. The sound of it made me emotional. It was totally mind blowing. The speed the thunder the manoeuvres. I am envious of the people who got to be there to experience so many coming in to land. Outstanding post. Thank you

This demonstrates excellence in flight training!
Every one of those planes executed their approach exactly the same way!

[subtyrant]

I remember standing there 50 years ago watching Phantoms do the same thing, but a bit less gracefully. That was the year I saw German F104s on a squadron swap at RAF Wattisham. It was quite a sight to see Lightnings and F104s flying in formation. And, of course, in those pre-digital days I'd run out of film.

In the next episode we'll learn how aircraft have to actually leave the ground to take off.

Such an elegant and deceptively simple design. Love the Typhoon.

[arturo]

That's not too low - a perfect approach and landing.

Reminds me of when my Dad used to take us up to the end of the runway at Boscombe down, just for the thrill!.. mid/late eighties/early nineties. Dad stuff !!! 😁 R.I.P Dad.❤

I used to stand at that very spot when I was younger and Coningsby was a Tornado base. It's the approach to the runway and as other people have commented, usually as a plane lands it has to fly pretty low at some point preferably near the runway. The pilots know people are there to get a buzz, so they buzz them.

Those typhoons are beautiful air planes.

*I see Beau Brummell setting another fashion trend with dress shoes, calf length socks, two tone bovine pattern shorts & oxford shirt...*

As impressive as this is…it doesn’t come close to that fella’s cow print shorts 👍🏻

[fourbeepaws]

They are coming in to land, its the people who are insane to stand so close to the end of the runway😮

[deckiecurry]

Once in lifetime experience right there

[hblcpoq]

I'll never forget the first time I heard the Euro fighter. Especially when the pilot put the afterburner on. The sound was insane! You had to hear it to believe it. The only way I can describe it, is it felt like the sky was ripping apart 😅

[Aereaux]

Please define "way too low." I believe that way to low would be trying to land below the level of the runway.
