So, how did 'Noble' keep his limbs moving, stay hydrated and, most importantly, answer a 'call of nature' whilst in the cockpit of a Typhoon for such long periods?

Flo poses all these questions in the latest episode - so if you have ever wondered, here's your chance to find out!

It's time for Episode 3 of The Fighter Show and Flo is back in a snow-covered United Kingdom to take a look around one of the biggest military flying exercises, Exercise Cobra Warrior.

He gets up close and personal Eurofighter Typhoons operated by the Royal Air Force and Royal Saudi Air Force and finds out how it performed alongside other fast jets including F-16, F-18 and Mirage 2000 aircraft.

 
In Episode 2 of the Fighter Show, Flo is our guide to the 100th birthday celebrations of the Italian Air Force in Rome.
He catches up with a Eurofighter Typhoon pilot, Captain Fibo, who secures the skies over Italy, meets some of the thousands of people taking part in the centenary celebrations – and importantly brings a birthday cake along with him.
 

In the first episode of the Fighter Show, Flo traveled to RAF Coningsby in England to talk to Flight Lieutenant Matt Brighty, the RAF’s Typhoon display pilot for 2023. 

He is the latest in a long line of RAF top guns who have taken the role of displaying the unique capability of the Eurofighter Typhoon jet which secures the skies over the UK 24/7, 365 days a year.

Throughout the summer, Brighty will be wowing crowds of hundreds of thousands of aircraft enthusiasts across the country with what is sure to be another jaw-dropping display of the power and agility of Typhoon.

BAE Systems and our Eurofighter partners at Leonardo are proud to be sponsoring the RAF Typhoon Display Team in the 2023 season.
