British Royal Air Force aircraft have recently taken
part in joint exercises involving the Emirati and other international
allies and whilst in the region wanted to reflect the importance of
the air force to air force relationships by attending this prestigious
air show.
Typhoon aircraft
have recently been deployed on operations and have performed exceptionally
well, demonstrating outstanding levels of availability and maintainability.
Typhoon is the world’s most advanced swing-role combat aircraft.
It meets current and future fast combat air needs and provides best-in-class
combat effectiveness and operational flexibility.
The aircraft will
perform another outstanding daily display at the show, demonstrating
its incredible agility and speed.
BAE Systems Typhoon Test Pilot Nat Makepeace spoke about flying during
the show:
“I am delighted to have a chance to fly the Typhoon at Dubai Air
Show. It is a great honour to have the opportunity to fly at one of
the world’s premier air shows. I am really looking forward to
demonstrating the capabilities of an aircraft which I love flying and
I am most grateful to the UAE for kindly inviting me.”
