Great, great video and a beautifully precise display. As has been said below, you’re just so ahead of the aircraft and it’s lovely to watch. I watched the cinematic version of your display as well. Hope you know that your work is noted and appreciated. 🤗
What an amazing display! It really shows how precise and professional those airshow displays are. Hats off to you! Thanks for sharing it and keep up the great work!
Thanks for this content Chris, great detail and information to enable us budding Hawk pilots to have a go 😎👍will be trying it myself tomorrow. Great idea to show the cinematic version as well. You did an admirable job representing us brits at the wings on the web air show. Look forword to the next one 👍
Another class act Sir, great to have the professional commentary behind what is going on ( flying wise and in your head😁). Not that I could ever aspire to this but fascinating to see. Thank you.
Very professionally put together, love your calm voice and talk through.. Even msfs looks the best ive seen it compared to many videos ive seen. Looking forward to Cosford now even more. Thanks for a splendid video.
@@cgaviator Just watched the cinematic version, i think they both are fantastic, i prefer the other non cinematic one, but i love the views of the other from the outside, like watching a display.. Both are amazing to be fair, but different.. Either way, im very happy. 🙏
@@cgaviator it’s great to just watch the display from inside the cockpit. It’s as close as I will get too it. I love all the hawk videos. Much appreciated. 👍👍
Hey dude ive been watching your videos all night. Thanks for your content. Im confused whether to get the hawk t1 or the mb339. Which one do you recommend. Thanks again
Good question! Mostly it depends on your own preference. Haven’t flown the 339 for a while. Hawk comes with T1A and external stores (if you buy from their website). Slightly deeper simulation. But both are fun!
Wow. And how? I mean, really, how? Every time you mentioned HSI, speed, altitude or a landmark I was getting further and further behind!! Amazing flying, love it. Thank you.
Thanks. And it’s ok-ish! Distance time and speed including TAS IAS relationship is spot in! Though I find that the aircraft wobble around much more than irl and there is very limited realism in the stall and spin. It’s far too binary and they haven’t figured swept and straight wing differences.
Awesome! Can I ask if you used to display the real one? Having spent a lifetime flying straight and level with the autopilot engaged (Modestly - I am REALLY good at that providing the A/P is serviceable), I am truly lost in admiration. Have just started flight simming in my dotage......
@@cgaviator They may be able to initially approach over the crowd but there are specific rules about separation which is why displays are now from the sides and in front of the crowd at minimum heights. It's highly regulated but sadly makes for a less impressive display in the case of single plane displays. I am comparing the displays of the 80s and 90s with today of course
Hey i have a question mate, what is the maximum age for me to be able to join the Canadian Air force for a pilot slot? I will only be finishing my university degree at 29 i wonder if that is too late to begin training for my wings, i know US maximum age to start is 33 but i cannot find any info for Canada. Just wondering if you have any insight on the topic any help is much appreciated. (side note, i will have my PPL finsihed before i apply)
No idea I’m afraid. That will only be on their recruitment website surely? Or a call to the recruitment office. Sometimes you can join as something else then transfer to the pilot branch.
@@cgaviator I did wonder Chris! None the less maybe one day I'll get to fly in formation with you. Happy Christmas and New year and look forward to more videos from you.
Showing your R.A.F. Colours there,way beyond my skill level(what skill?).I flew from London city to valley last night after watching your demo.I tried the MB339 but that did a CTD so had to go with one of the air race jets.Just a straight line route,no deviations. I find a flight like that at altitude very boring,so I try to stay at treetop height all the way.had to go around on arrival as I was too slow on approach and binned it but a quick slew and another go worked out ok...............................................

X-plane is taking ages to catch up here. Top class video Chris I feel you are way ahead of most of your viewers.
Yup, it’s quite the benchmark!
Another class act Sir, great to have the professional commentary behind what is going on ( flying wise and in your head😁). Not that I could ever aspire to this but fascinating to see. Thank you.
Another great video, really insightful as always, amazes me how you make it look effortless! 👍
Thanks! Lots of practice!
Kudos to you Chris, fantastic flying! Something to aspire to for sure 👍👌😎
Thank you muchly!
Amazing video Chris. It's so interesting and inspiring to hear your commentaries!
Thank you, much appreciated!
Very professionally put together, love your calm voice and talk through.. Even msfs looks the best ive seen it compared to many videos ive seen. Looking forward to Cosford now even more. Thanks for a splendid video.
Thank you, much appreciated! Out of interest, did you prefer this video or the cinematic version with music?
@@cgaviator in all fairness ive not yet watched the cinematic version, i will watch it this morning and let you know. 👍

@@shuttersound69 thanks, much appreciated 👍🏻
Wow. Simply amazing.
Thank you 👍🏻
Very impressive and insightful!
Thanks 🙏🏻
Another great video mate. It would be cool to see one of these but with a typhoon display. Thanks again. Love the details.
I could work my way through the different aircraft!
@@cgaviator it’s great to just watch the display from inside the cockpit. It’s as close as I will get too it. I love all the hawk videos. Much appreciated. 👍👍

Thanks 👍🏻 Lots and lots of practice! Have you checked out the cinematic version?
Fantastic stuff sir!
Thank you kindly 👍🏻
That was very impressive !
Thanks 👍🏻
Wow thats impressive man
Thanks, much appreciated
Great video. Before you got to the Hawk did you fly the JP or the Tucano? Thanks for all your work.
Tucano, I also instructed on Tucano. Loved that turboprop!
Great, such a better looking aircraft than the Texan.@@cgaviator
@@jc8095 oh 1000%! The Texan is fugly! I sat in a Super Tucano once… love at first sight!
Hi, love the videos, as a real pilot, how do you find the accuracy of MSFS? Keep up the great content 👍😎
Thanks. And it’s ok-ish! Distance time and speed including TAS IAS relationship is spot in! Though I find that the aircraft wobble around much more than irl and there is very limited realism in the stall and spin. It’s far too binary and they haven’t figured swept and straight wing differences.
@@cgaviator that's good to know, thanks for the reply. Hopefully they can rectify the other little bits to make it even more realistic in future 😁
Awesome! Can I ask if you used to display the real one? Having spent a lifetime flying straight and level with the autopilot engaged (Modestly - I am REALLY good at that providing the A/P is serviceable), I am truly lost in admiration. Have just started flight simming in my dotage......
Sadly not, never had the opportunity! Hopefully in future I’ll be able to display something!
Nicely done. Sadly flying over the crowd was banned years ago but at least simulators still allow it !
Not so, I’m fairly sure the Reds are permitted to do it still?

@@cgaviator Thanks Sir! Will give them a ring
Meanwhile, here's me: **glance down** "Oh, I'm doing 500kts. Better slow down a bit.". **reduces power**. 15 seconds later... **glance down** "Oh, I'm doing 300kts. Better speed up a bit." **increases power**. 15 seconds later... **glance down** "Oh, I'm doing 500kts again..." (repeat...)
And then, on landing... **glance down** "Oh, I'm doing 170kts. Better slow down a bit.". **reduces power**. 10 seconds later... **horrible noises** **glance down** "Oh, I'm plummetting into the ground at 100kts."
😂 the struggle is real!
Totally amazing
No… you’re amazing!😆
@@cgaviator Thank you, but i don't feel amazing Chris but I shall work hard at practicing my hawk display

Fantastic … pairs next?
Tempted to open auditions! 😄
