@rkan2 not a fighter pilot, though, man. If he was a private pilot he was probably doing stuff like Cessnas, right? If you're doing that for a love, a dream would for sure be to go in one of these, I don't think the person was saying Teds dream was to get in a plane
I'm really questioning the narrative here. There was a German TH-camr who got to fly with an Eurofighter from the German military and he had to go through a full day of medical and physical testing + countless safety instructions and so on, to be even allowed inside of the plane. So I guess that can't be that spontaneous.. or they just don't give a f?
@@billystanford275 He is often reciting aircraft types and flight numbers on Ted's notebook. There is an article about him becoming a pilot if he didn't become a presenter. So yeah..
SKY SPORT: George, we've arranged for you to do loops in a jet fighter plane. LANDO: ...and what have you organised for me?! SKY SPORT: Game of cricket against Oscar.
I love listening to Bjork but hadn't actually heard this track before and I was thinking, one of my favorite things about watching these Sky F1 specials is, the music is always on point and right up my alley. A feeling further solidified by hearing Air right after it.
I was gonna say this!!!! What a banger! Amazing track, David Arnold is underrated. May be a Bjork song, but it's his at heart. Even some Air later on too!
@@ethownzbh I'm not a regular viewer and one of my first takeaways was "wow, they really pulled out all the stops with the music licensing." Good to hear it's a regular occurrence.
Honestly seeing these 2 motor racing duo and the joy they brought to the 2 RAF pilots well that worth the watch. Ted and George I am sure will never forget this moment and you know our men and women in blue deserve all the recognition they deserve. What a lovely sight to see!
Kids, can 100% attest to joining the RAF as an aircraft engineer. I loved my time, which then led me to join BAe and was part of the design team on (Eurofighter) Typhoon. And always remember, if flying was hard it'd be the groundcrew doing it🤔 Well done Sky Sports F1 and really nice words from Ted too. Having flown back seat a number of times, I knew exactly what you felt
This is exactly why I love aviation and fighter jets! Out of this world. Hopefully I'll be one of the Lietenants one dy flying these beautiful jets over the earth.
I am sure George and Ted were absolutely thrilled being up there. What an experience. I have to say I was impressed by Ted. Unlike George he is not used to Pulling G's, but he did it anyway. Respect!
George looks that he could do that every day, and at full G. What an experience for them both, and the RAF will even pay you to do it if you're good enough too.
Lol they where not pulling many G forces.. george might be used to lateral g forces but positive and negative forces is a completely another thing. At 9 g George would pas out just like anybody who isnt trained for this
@@User05199 There's quite a few familiarisation flights here on youtube of military personnel in the US getting taken to the 9g club in the F-16, you would be surprised how many of them don't actually pass out.
Ofcourse the duration of pulling g's matters. Most of the time those are short pulls. U gotta understand a typhoon or f16 can pull 9 g's without losing speed
Respect that George gets in there, well now there might not only be Formula 1 for him. It's been like this for me since I was up in heaven, he calls out to me. I hope pilots that it's the same for George.
I'm an American F1 fan, so as such I'll always have pride in our F-22's, F-15s, F-16s and F/A-18s. That being said, the Typhoon is a proper piece of machinery, and we're proud to fly alongside it. The Typhoon is the Spitfire to the F-16's Mustang. Or the F-16 is the Mustang to the Typhoon's Spitfire. Either way, proud to fly side by side. Cheers, RAF!
My girlfriend works here and does all the batteries for these typhoons. These things are absolutely insane. I will happily spend hours by the airfield watching takeoffs when I visit her. Absolutely incredible bits of kit.
This segment was super cool. In 20 years time assuming Ted is still working and George has retired from F1(hopefully as a multi-WDC), I'd love to watch a series of these two trying out different fighter planes from the various air forces around the world. Rafales, Super Hornets, Flankers, Vipers, Eagles...
George looks like if you recorded this in black and white he would be a spitfire pilot, let's have a cup of tea then go kick the chocks, has this made him want to get his pilots licence maybe he has , actually getting up in the Typhoon and a refuel at altitude , jealous, what an experience . Go RAF.
4:09 check out Jeremy Clarkson flying in an F-15E, it was a long time ago but Bjork "Play Dead" was playing in the background in that video too. Its pretty good
Never thought i would see the day of George in the RB19
It was more like W11

Broo i was waiting for a clip of him actually in one until i realized the joke.... GGWP

As an aviation geek and as a F1 fan this is simply amazing.
It sent shivers down my spine, the footage
@@hazikaiyan5903 same here👌
And the cherry on top to me, the Eurofighter, my favorite Fighter jet 💪🏻😎🔝
tell me you're a virgin without telling me your a virgin
As a fellow av geek and f1 fan yes i can indeed validate your claim
Honestly Russell actually looks like a proper fighter pilot in that flight suit
Ted didnt look half bad either.
He aced the voiceover too
Just wished the journo would shut up and let George chat with the pilot.
like how when someone looks like a pilot wearing pilot outfit, whaaaaat????????
Petition to release the un-cut hour long footage 👇🏻
💪
That would be awesome
God yes
My thoughts exactly!… it’s gotta be some amazing experience!… incredible stuff ❤
Please!!!
You can tell Teds genuine smile at 2:23 trying to play down that his dreams have come true
Wasn't he a private pilot..

Thank you Mr psychiatrist, you are ofc right
This is truly beautiful. So much respect to the pilots that are able to fly these machines at full potential.
And the engineers/flight ops/people that keep them airborne
to be fair, this aircraft would not be able to even fly if it were not for its incredibly complicated computers
@GloomGaiGar exactly which means all u need to do is fire a emp missle n u take the whole sortie out haha.
Pffff just in time, saved you from 666 likes.
God bless Ted Kravitz. You can see how excited he is when he’s told. It’s a dream come true for him and you can see how much he enjoyed it
Amen. He kind of looks around to see if he is being pranked. Tes is the every man. I think a lot of us his age identify with him.
I don’t think that’s how it works
Ted Kravitz is such a putz.
Should of pressed the ejector seat on him mid air. Most biased reporter in F1!!
I would of been crying my eyes out at that point.
AND he got an air to air refuel ... dude thats LEGENDARY!
Ted's little face when they told him, how precious.
I like Ted ,really like his presence for sky f1.
Amazing seeing the wash over the canopy going at speed from inside.
Ted looked proper excited but keeping it professional too
The forces on these must be unimaginable!

Haha 😨😥😂,he more good on private jet 😊👍
To be fair lando got to fly with the reds 🤣. Can’t be better than that
Oh the Typhoon is a world apart from a hawk that the reds fly@@gauravsmatharu
@@gauravsmatharu yeah defo with their sexual harassment cases and what not
These f1 extras are always so well done. Big props!
George genuinely looked the part.
He has the look of a dashing 1940s pilot
No doubt if he wasn't an F1 driver, he could be a fighter pilot. Same goes with all of the other F1 drivers.
l love George Russell so much after that intro 😂😂 nailed it!!
Kudos to the editors for picking such an underrated song at 4:02, it's Bjork's "Play Dead", a hidden track from her first album
@4kupscales401 And the Vauxhall Vectra advert......
I love listening to Bjork but hadn't actually heard this track before and I was thinking, one of my favorite things about watching these Sky F1 specials is, the music is always on point and right up my alley. A feeling further solidified by hearing Air right after it.

Is it a coincidence that the editor used that intro, considering George bears a resemblance to Tobey Maguire.
Good catch
More like gollum…
@@markdonalds7735 Blimey, my bloody precioussss
Actually,he looks more like Woody from Toy story,but ok😂
Into the heavens like a homesick angel. Only Kravitz would write such a line. You just have to love him.
It's a quote of a quote, referring to the vertical climb characteristics of the English Electric Lightning interceptor.

*Bias Mercedes fan
What a present to be given the chance to fly like that and even the refueling, wow, truly a dream come true for any mortal.
I love Ted, so glad he got to go up!
That would be simply amazing. What a wonderful adventure for George and Ted.
What lovely video! And this great treat couldn't have been given to two nicier guys! It was a pleasure to watch. Well done and thank you!
This is exactly why I love aviation and fighter jets! Out of this world. Hopefully I'll be one of the Lietenants one dy flying these beautiful jets over the earth.
One of the best features you have ever done. Really appreciated how respectful you all seemed of the work our armed forces do.
These pilots are infinitely more competent than any F1 driver as it is so fast and in multiple dimensions. They are incredible
Sure
Sure
I am sure George and Ted were absolutely thrilled being up there. What an experience. I have to say I was impressed by Ted. Unlike George he is not used to Pulling G's, but he did it anyway. Respect!
Respect to every air force member who are out there protecting the skies of their nations🫡
The editor clearly remembered Clarkssons speed machines where he flew an F-15 to the background music of the same Bjork song.
George looks that he could do that every day, and at full G. What an experience for them both, and the RAF will even pay you to do it if you're good enough too.
I would do it for free - If I was good enough!

Great, respect to the RAF and the great pilots.
Aww man, I’m so jealous !!! Great little film, you can tell the boys loved it by the look on their face. Amazing.
For non-F1 fans, Ted Kravitz is himself a pilot
We were in Scarborough on the beach when they flew over, love the jet fighters
That was amazing! Would love to see more footage!
My dad was an engineer based at RAF Conningsby. He left shortly before being promoted to Sergeant.
Brilliant feature seeing the connections between F1 and fighter jets. Great camera work and a great team at RAF Conningsby
Ted looks like he's been doing this his whole life! Congrats on the flight!
Good vidéo 👍 congratulations and salutations to you from french navy rafale squadron 17F 12F 11F 👌🤗🥰🇫🇷💖🇬🇧
Seeing Ted this happy makes me incredibly happy indeed
See these all the time in the Lakes and every time it sends shivers !

That was incredible, Ted was so moved by it and I can see why, wish Lewis was there too
One of the best footage i have ever seen thank you
04:03
what an extraordinary fitting music, gave me the chills 😢
Loved that. Very cool indeed. I did a weeks long camp at Conningsby when I was a cadet in 1993. Snogged a girl. It was brilliant.
Same here 1996 :D
Dream mate, absolute dream
That is amazing, they were so lucky to hitch a ride and take control .. WoW ..

Epic- love the top gun music too haha
I can only imagine how amazing that would be. The power, maneuverability and G-forces never mind the sights you would see! 🥰
Fantastic. Thankyou to the Men / woman keeping the Country Safe .The RAF best in the World.
Best at what exactly?
Absolutely loved it!!!! Ted is a star!!!
It's so great! George had so Lucky... I wish I could experance that! Soooo awsome... I jumper a few timestamp out a plain ... but this is epic!
I used to supply the RAF kart team with parts. great guys and do such a great job.
Sick video. Even got to do mid-air refueling. The pilot should get a turn in an F1 car now.
amazing, one complaint, you had the PERFECT chance to open the video with the Top Gun theme song! sad day but all around great video
LOVED watching this. awesome content.
Ted: THIS PLANE IS AWE-
*F1 radio noise*
TWO SECONDS TED
really cool :) god bless our RAF!
this is absolutely crazy
Ted looks like a kid at Christmas when he gets told .
Who wouldn't getting a 20k$ gift 😂
Make that 50k$ considering the in-air refueling loool
Okay so are we going to talk about the top gun anthem included at the slow mo walking shot and at other parts of this video?!🥰😍
Love that livery on the KC2
They make it look easy but don’t think I could ever do that. Thanks RAF for keeping all of us safe.
You lucky rascals!! What an experience that must have been…❤️
George is such a great role model for boys and girls and a great human being. ❤
I Love Typhoons :3 Loves from Spain
Lucky boys, absolutely brilliant
2:53 Ted's odd socks makes me think he genuinely wasn't expecting this or at least wasn't expecting to take his shoes off on camera
I guess he should've known better being a pilot lol
This is so cool .. Thank you for this .. smiles all around
NOTE BOOK… Ted with his note book… always ready… top man. Brilliant video. 😊
Yeah yeah but Pedro De La Rosa was the first F1 driver in flight an Eurofighter Typhoon
Ted absolutely deserved this experience. He is an avgeek and loves all things aviation. I'm glad you go to go on these Ted!
I Work at tatershall lakes as a cleaner seeing these jets go by every monday and friday is amazing to see
Damn now I really want to become a F1 driver, so I can eventually tag a long with a RAF pilot on a routine fight sometime
Man those Mercedes have gone crazy with their upgrades...😮
Wow!!! Thank you for taking me along!!!
this song is from CSI: NY, and now i miss that show
Brilliant! Love seeing Ted so excited! 😀
That is one beautiful jet..
I love the RAF
and I am a big fan of the RAF
and I have a toytifoon
Saw Blackjack at RIAT yesterday, always puts on a good show.
4:09 check out Jeremy Clarkson flying in an F-15E, it was a long time ago but Bjork "Play Dead" was playing in the background in that video too. Its pretty good
Legends! Thanks for making it happen!
He controls like he is in top gun
Think you mean Eurofighter Typhoons guys
George nailed the narrating. Another carrier path unlocked, I guess.
I was waiting for the moment of "Two secs Ted" when Ted queued up the mic
Thank you for your service past and present RAF service men and women for keeping us safe 🫡.
What a fantastic feature.
