On an airliner: 5 minutes to go through the clouds and see the blue sky again.
On this: 5 seconds

Its amazing how everything around you becomes insignificant so quickly as you pull away into the heavens

Does anyone remember when two Typhoons were scrambled to intercept an unidentified helicopter ? They passed near Coventry and the sonic boom is something I'll never forget . Seemed to come from the whole sky at once, nothing like I expected .

Me before realising that he's in the backseat

I remember reading once that it took a Spitfire about 8 minutes to get to fighting altitude. This is amazing.

One of the most capable fighters on the planet.

Seen plenty of these at air shows and the things these aircraft can do is beyond comprehension and normal flying dynamics. They scare me doing tame tricks id dread to see 1 at full combat level. The noise the power the impossible agility and sublime skills needed to fly 1 is just breath taking

Which just proves, even on a cloudy Italian day, the sun is only 37 seconds away.

I just can't get my head around the Typhoon acceleration once it gets rolling, amazing.

In my Dad’s Cessna Turbo 210, this took 20 minutes from takeoff to reach that altitude.

This aircraft...20-30 seconds! 😮

He didn’t use the ham sandwich dispenser, always nice if you have to battle. Fancy a sarnie! 🇬🇧RAF STYLE.

Did anyone notice him holding a Canon DSLR in his hands?

This is the number 1 thing I’d love to do on my bucket list, to be a passenger on a fighter jet, but I know it’s never gonna happen.

I was busy watching the leading edge slats progressively retracting as speed and altitude was gained...Now let's see a full AB vertical takeoff please..

Ridden big bikes for years and his initial acceleration looked v similar to my view of cars when pulling away with Max power.
