For the hard of thinking....
What I do, is go to YouTube and type Big Jet TV Live....simples!! But, to save TRF'ers and any antipodean intellectuals (if that's not an oxymoron) ALL that effort.. here you go. https://youtu.be/sN47P7HjhKE Yeah, no, look mate, ya bludger. (I have an Aussie phrase book) You missed a great show, F15 E's and F35 Lightnings, doing full power take off's.. whoaar!!!.......but most of Jerry's shows are available on YT. |

Steve I was genuine in the thanks comment. I did just as you said and linked right in.
By the time I came to the stream the F-15’s were just noodling around. If SpaceX can do sonic booms upon re-entry then I’d have enjoyed some hyper sonic Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I understand Paul, thank you for your thanks, I was just being playful.
My original post was done at high (for me) speed, in a bid not to miss anything. The F-35's were doing fast touch and goes at the time. You can watch the show (headphones on, volume at 11) from the beginning, lots of action earlier on in the show. PS. Just heard that F1 is not extending the season, to replace Sochi. |

Hey guy, apologies for my kinda snide food remark.
And heck yeah, if you've never heard a sonic boom or the sound of 'crackling', air shows and SpaceX launches are epic.

I never flew either one, I have over 2,000 hours in the F-18, but the C model, which is now a museum piece. I think a Sopwith Camel was still in service when I was flying. I sat in an E model, the one that replaced mine and felt like I had advanced from a Model T to a Ferrari. I have heard the 35 is like a Galaxy-class starship compared to my experience, I doubt I could even start the engines.

Paul, what WAS the Sopwith like to fly? Faster than the S.E.5?
A neighbour of mine landed Sea Vampires onto Carriers...at night. Brave man! He says he misses flying..every day. |

Glad you enjoyed it Eddie.
Gotta love those F-15's...been in service for 46 years!! As you say, the sound was pretty good. Jerry, (BJTV) doesn't use a fancy pro' camera, just a 'consumer' level Panasonic, but achieves very acceptable 'footage'. Have you seen his recent storm coverage from Heathrow?....it's a hoot! He's in Memphis, Tennessee, at the weekend, but you have to be a member to view live (membership is very affordable ). |

Actually a Raptor lover at heart but I’ll take an upgraded Eagle over a 35 any day.

Thanks for sharing.
I was stationed there at Mildenhall AFB about a million years ago. We had a SR-71 assigned to the base. When that monster took off it felt like every building on base was about to come apart. |
