When I was crew chief for the bad guys in Hot Shots ( the Northrop planes) Rick Brickert used that Gnat to blast the heck out of me and my truck on the set at Mojave airport. Apparently he was not aware of jet blast.
@@marcoduarte722 we love it, I’m biased but it’s a dang good looking Gnat! There are plenty of yellow and red ones…this one is a real ex RedArrow and YellowJack so it doesn’t have anything to prove 😀
Amazing that such a high performance aircraft is so small. What is your height, weight, and t-shirt size? Are you too big for this plane? In the hanger the Gnat looks like it could hang from the A-4 centerline rack.😂 It is a beauty, no doubt. Is this ex-RAF, ex-Indian Air Force or…?
@@pakkelly ha! I’m 6’ and XL 🤣 am I too big? I tell people I “barely” fit. Working on that.. it’s pretty small! This is XRP-991, long history with Red Arrows and even on YellowJacks team before that. Was also in the movie HotShots!
Just wonderful that you guys are keeping this little Red Arrow legend airworthy. Keep up the fantastic work.
@@martinfelton3089 thank you! We’re doing our best with all of them!
Awesome tiny jet. Looking forward to seeing it fly. You could re-create the Hot Shots jet exhaust BBQ scene together with DieselThunder 😂
@@jr0815_aka_gulredrel 🤣
Awesome little jet.
Great video once more!
@@GunnerHeatFire thanks so much!
Excited to see this loud and sporty little thing do some more flying!
@@flyingwithking yea!

At 9:46 I thought of a South Park epiprobe, err, episode. Can't wait to see that thing fly. Subscribed!
@@paulis7319 thank you!
Finally some good content Jerod!
@@CONNOR9623 🤣🤣🤣 FINALLY! The GNAT! 😁
@@JetJerod THATS WHAT WE’RE HERE FOR!!!!
COOL sounding turbine!
@@mig21pilot thanks! I just left the sound from both cameras in, figured I’d leave it alone even though some would find it annoying! Haha
It's the "Hot Shots" plane!!!!! Awesome!!!!!!!! LoL
@@01492081 right! Haha!
I was just thinking about this the other day. Wondering when you'd be taking it out.
@@RedTail1-1 we were 100% focused on the F100 and now that it’s airworthy, we’re working on TA-4, getting the Gnat ready for some flying now as well!
love it....but what is that paint scheme🤣
