wallyinoz Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Can anyone tell me why Typhoons keep their wheels down during circuit operations following overshoots and touch and goes? Is it just the RAF that do this or other Typhoon ops? Got a surprise today when a pair of Typhoons popped out their drag chutes, is this a practice thing or systems check thing or what? 1P4A7985PS by wallycacsabre, on Flickr 1P4A7975PS by wallycacsabre, on Flickr 1P4A7955PS by wallycacsabre, on Flickr 1P4A7943PS by wallycacsabre, on Flickr 1P4A7740PS by wallycacsabre, on Flickr 1P4A7775ps by wallycacsabre, on Flickr Quite a few more in the photostream: https://www.flickr.com/photos/87490663@N08/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringbag Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Hi Wally. Hope you're well. Couldn't see any Typhoons, I was too busy drooling over the "real" Lightning fighter in the background. Chris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiya Chris, I just noticed your response, yep I am fine and well, just coming to the end of my 4 month holiday in the UK.. going back home to Perth Tuesday week. I am adding a few more pics here taken yesterday at Waddigton and Coningsby again.. I have carefully edited them to hide any hint of a Lightning for the continued health of your non drool proof keyboard! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Vader Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I think the Typhoons keep the gear down as each u/c cycle fatigues the airframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
