I drive an RS4 and fly fast jets - the day job :)

[TimDogg]

Guys,

Someone on Twitter (not sure how it works tbh) asked for an in cockpit film of what exactly I do everyday. I am an RAF flying instructor on the BAES Hawk T2 at RAF Valley. I teach students and instructors on the weapons and tactics phases of military fast-jet flying training. I knew some of the guys I've met on here before would be interested so I've posted the link. Please don't be jealous - it's not what you think, I have neck issues that will become debilitating when older along with some other medical problems caused by flying and you all earn far more money than me That said it can be a good job when the sun shines and teaching young students to go onto the front-line is very rewarding. (Posted in Off Topic Chat but I know a couple of guys on here would want to see it...)

Nicd vid Tim , cant beat a bit of low flying , i know of you as some very close friends of mine (G & B of squadron prints) mentioned you had an RS4 , im a bit of spotter too and go to the hills with Berry for low level photography and the airshows with them , so if your ever up to lossie for a trip in the hawk watch out for a black RS4 at the end of either 05 or 23 end , if you see me give a wing waggle

How boring is the RS4 to drive after that ???
I am very jealous, especially if you can take the woman of your dreams up there with you
Great choice of music as well
Could you do another film, with the camera facing forward, would love to see what you see, please ??

Excellent stuff!! Must be nice up in sky on your own ripping through the valleys

I hate my job after watching that!

[S4WON]

Very impressed and just a little (lot?) bit jealous!

1 question, hopefully it's not too Stupid.. For some reason I just assumed that you would spend most of your time looking at instruments and looking forward, yet there is a lot of pronounced looking around, quite aggressively (hence neck issues I guess.).

So what exactly is it you are looking for? Other aircraft or is it environmental stuff?

And also thank you for your service, i come from an army family, so know what it means firsthand to dedicate your life to this.
