Typhoon in camo by Jersey airport

[Turn7]

....flew over us today and it wasn’t until it went overhead I saw what it was...

Surprised me to see one here,is that normal ?

[ecsrobin]

It’s Jersey airshow on Thursday so assume it’s over for that.

[Turn7]

Ah cool,will be here for that ,any details I can google ?

shame the Tiffie is on static display only

[Simpo Two]

Kinda ironic that it flies in for a static display... change the day and they'll see it fly...

[JerseyS2000]

not much decent from the RAF in the display

at least the Swedes bring the Viggen and Draken for noise

[Turn7]

Gutted it won’t be in the air as we are here then....

Is this the Typhoon that is currently with the BBMF?

"Any details I can google?"

I think if it was we’d all be a lot more excited. It’s the modern sort.

The RAF don't have a modern camo Typhoon, it was repainted.

Then could have been the Saab viggen?

Anyone been to the Jersey show? Looking for viewing spot advice.

The bay is a huge area and I’m guessing it’s going to get busy with spectators as it’s free...

Most likely.

The SAFHF have two airworthy Viggen's now, one in camo and one in silver/NM finish IIRC.

No but the RAF's 'real' Hawker Typhoon is currently at Coningsby.

I stand corrected,it was actually the Viggen I saw briefly....

No typhoon at all that I saw.

Still enjoyed the show , the display from the PItt special was something else,never seen a plane thrown around like that before .

Rich Goodwin? If so he’s currently building another Pitts with propellor and 2 miniature jet engines either side to do a dual display
