本日公開の映画「トップガン・マーヴェリック」のパイロット役の俳優さんたちは、飛行中の機内シーンは自分でカメラ操作をして撮影したとのこと。訓練の様子を伝えるビデオ(パラマウント社提供)この短いビデオでもかなりの迫力ですね(字幕なしですみません)#FlyNavy ow.ly/22IK50JjcQu

Few can lay claim to having an 'office' as cool as the one this @RoyalNavy F-35 pilot is snapped walking away from here today. Kudos too though to the hundreds of engineers, mechanics and scientists we have onboard, who keep these tremendous aircraft flying #FlyNavy #WESTLANT19

The operational test tempo continues to build here at #WESTLANT19 as we launch and recover pairs of UK Lightnings, within seconds of each other. This enables us to generate sorties at a much faster rate. @RoyalNavy @RoyalAirForce @17SqnRAF @OC617Sqn @RAF_Marham #FlyNavy #UKF35

In a Sea State 6 with winds gusting to 50 knots we continue to develop @thef35 to life at Sea.
Our Rotary Wing are also showing their metal on Search & Rescue duties. With a pitching, rolling deck; they certainly are earning their flying pay today!

Today also marks the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Taranto.
It was the first all-aircraft ship-to-ship naval attack in history, employing 21 Swordfish bombers from HMS Illustrious.
"... in the Fleet Air Arm the Navy has its most devastating weapon".
