Seven Performance Takeoffs, Four Ship Formation, Blackjack returns and super TedCam™ clips feature in this intense action packed RAF Coningsby highlights from the 22nd August 2022.

In more detail;
A superb triple performance takeoff (PTO) from 29 squadron, TRIPLE X flight. The followed by a single PTO and then just when four PTOs wasn't enough,3 (F) Squadron rock up with three Typhoons  'Rampage' for a three ship PTO. This made seven performance takeoffs in a row!

We love to educate our viewer here at the TCS and we mentioned 'Flight Level' and altitude. Now the calculations for altitude and flight level are based on atmospheric pressure 'Barometer' and AMSL (Above Mean Sea Level), we gave you a quick understanding of aviation terms, this being 'FLIGHT LEVEL'. This term is heard constantly on the radio and of course it would be as it relates to altitude, a key part of aviation. Flight level (FL) is used in 100s, 1 FL= 100ft so for example
FL30 = 3,000ft
FL80 = 8,000ft
FL150 = 15,000ft
FL250 = 25,000
etc
