I've just dug out my ( old ) copy of Ian Allan's "Modern Combat Aircraft No. 14, the SEPECAT Jaguar" written by Arthur Reed, which records that the French Jaguar's A & E stood for Appui, (tactical support) & E for Ecole (trainer), the M was for Marine, (Maritime) & the British S & B stood for Strike & Bi. (Two seater). Whilst in the RAF & based at Lossiemouth in the late eighties, I was on the opposite side of the runway from 226, (the RAF's Jag OCU), on 237 (Buccaneer) OCU. I've always liked the look of the Jag but, sadly, never got to work on them. I was always nervous when the Jag "advanced" courses started taking off with two full underwing "jugs" & four concrete "thousand pounders", seeing them disappear over the hump of the main runway, (heading south west), & eventually struggling into the air, (& into sight), in full afterburner. As some joker once said, "fully loaded they only got into the air due to the curvature of the earth !" At that stage of their life the Jag's definitely needed a bit more poke ! ( Which they eventually got, much to the relief of the aircrew, no doubt ). Well put together wee video. I'll have to watch some more of yours. Kind regards. 😄

So glad he left it up to us to choose! 😂

One of my favourite attack aircraft - never seems to get much credit however. I loved how it looked with what is certainly my favourite undercarriage design of all combat jets. I wonder how French pilots who had experience in both aircraft compared the Jaguar A with the Super Entendards. Could the type M have turned out to be a better aircraft?

you need to be more realistic on the range. it is 2440 air miles from ny to la this plane has a 2000 mile range with no reserve

I worked withy the 2 Jag squadrons & 226 OCU at RAF Lossiemouth for a few years when I was there between 1977 & 1986 as well as the Buccaneers & Shacletons. I also did a bit of time with the Royal Navy 849 B flight Gannets & Sea Kings plus a load of other units within RAF Lossie.

Was it only the lower spec versions or the Sierras too which had such underpowered engines they couldn't sustain level flight on just one engine? It would certainly make the French Navy decision to go with single engine Super Etendards more understandable. Separately, Dassault's wider behaviour shows the risks of partnerships with dodgy dealers

I was ground crew on 41sqn photo recce in the 80s, good memories, thanks.

No radar

Any sooties or jockeys out there can explain why the RAF Jaguar needed reheat for take off, (a mandatory call from the caravan if not engaged) whilst the French version didn't?

Have we ever had a cooperative effort with the French where they didn't take the piss sabotage the project constantly then try to claim any credit going and yes i do include both world wars.

*A flawed concept resulted in this plane being manufactured & replacing the Bucaneer. During the Iraq war it was shot out of the sky by Iraqi defences, resulting in it being withdrawn during the war & being replaced by the Bucaneer. So much for it being a great plane.

Probably the only attractive Blackburn aircraft ever made.

It's shrinking and becoming more a rich person's game. Business owners use it for work, and rich tech people just do it for fun. Cirruses are replacing the Cessnas and Bonanzas that used to be on the field. But people still co-own aircraft or join flying clubs to spread the cost around.

There was a similar Japanese aircraft called Mitsubishi F-1 for close support role.

I think it was a great design so long at there was enough cooling for the back engine.

Come on guys….ditch the atrocious artificial computer voice used for narration. It’s very very bad and drags down the entire video. Why don’t you get a regular person who can speak reasonably well and record a real human voice?😢😢

One of my favorite aircraft...

CIA and Mi6 propaganda ..we all know the plane was sabotaged by the USA White power structure 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lovely aircraft.

As I answered our coleague, I think both E1 or E2 are the same aircraft and the improvements was not an intention to play against the big, Big, BIG, BIIIIG Ones 😁 , since these aircrafts remained Narrow Body type. What happend, instead of a miscalculation from engineering crew (Both E1 and E2 has the same weight), is the difference of the new Pratt-Whitney Engines of E2, that is heavier (they are way more powerfull) than the prior GE from E1 series. . But nothing that avoids Embraer to send for U.S.A. the New modern 175 E2 with their plus gadgets for passengers, new designed wings, new avitronics and Control Panel, an added 3rd Fuel Tank for all E-2 Series but... using the older (and less efficient) GE Engine. Sadly the older engine is not as much fuel saving as the newer one... . Doing this Embraer keeps respecting the U.S. Scoupe Clauses, since both aircraft versions weights the same... They might send U.S. the New Version, but using the older Engine. No harm at all... 👍👍

Cheap. Good. Safe. Pick two.

Cool plane, never knew it was so problematic though.

Looks like a high wing F-4.

Stupid thumbnail

This aircraft was both used by the Indian and Pak Airforces. Saw conflicts such as the '65 ,'71 Indo Pak Wars and the '99 Kargil Conflict. Although it was rendered as obsolete by the time of Kargil war.

One of the worst aircraft ever made.

Great jet to work on for Riggers (airframes) I worked on Harriers for most of my RAF career, often working the night through and handing over the keys to the day shift. On Jags (54 (f) ) if riggers weren't down to trade cover by 20:00 it was a bad night. Jacking a Jag was a bit scary for the chap on the nose jack because of the trailing linkage on the main gear, when raising the jet the main undercarriage would try to push forward, this meant the chap on the nose jack was continually having to adjust the jack legs. On at least one occasion the nose jack punched a hole in the aircraft nose because it slipped off the jack point.

Interesting...

Forgot to include the Citation M2 Gen2

Now, look at the ugly side. Research and development, and procurement of the 'X-35', cost the government, a total of $1•9 trillion (YES, TRILLION), of our taxpayers 💵 (mine & yours), dollars. Think about that figure. And the conservative part of our government, to help refund those dollars, started cutting into, the federal food card program (SNAP), where people who receive it, are partially desperate. So instead of taxing the super-wealthy, to cover the cost of mediocre aircraft (for it's NOT, the#1 air platform) they attack the weakest, and most desperate🤨!!

In 1982 I was a schoolboy living in the Somerset countryside. On my birthday that year, my Dad mysteriously ushered me outside. A few minutes later, an RAF Jaguar tore right over our heads. It then put on brief but highly impressive low-level display directlyabove our house, before rocking its wings and departing. My godfather was John Thomson, Station Commander of RAF Brüggen in West Germany, which housed four Sqns of Jaguars, and this was his birthday present to me. A few days later, a big brown envelope arrived in the post. In it was a birthday card from John and several A4-sized black and white photos of me and my family outside our house that day, looking up.

Weird that the Blackburn entry was the most conventional looking one.

Well, seeing as they're basically out of business this is kind of moot but, you're obviously confusing the engines, the 912IS, 912 ULS and the 914 and there is no ROTAS engine for your electronic voice to pronounce. You left out the SEAMAX which performs better than all of them.

I remember the trials we did with the overwing pylons for defensive sidewinders, they vibrated like crazy and one pilot I knew in the Gulf wanted to fire his stores just to get rid of the vibes !

The poor mans A-6 Intruder

The Buccaneer was always the last card that anyone wanted when playing Top Trumps in the late 70s. Interesting to see it getting some love.

the fkn noisy bstd

One Jaguar was modified with extensions to the leading edge bringing the centre of pressure forward to make the aircraft less stable. The PFCU´s were replaced with FBW ones to explore how FBW systems in conjunction with unstable airframes could improve manoeuvrability. This aircraft spent a great deal of it`s life undergoing testing at BAe Warton.

Great story..thanks.

What is a de haviland hornet? While showing the "mosquito".

Gnat was also part of Indian Air force inventory. It's so small, don't require a ladder to enter cockpit.

INDIAN HAL COMPANY SHOULD HAVE COLLABORATED WITH GNAT'S DESIGNER AND DEVELOPED MID-SIZED HIGHLY MANOUVERABLE FIGHTER PLANES FOR GLOBAL MARKET.

❤

The Eclipse is probably the best small jet on the market for cost and efficiency.

The Indian Gnat parked in a Museum is actually a war trophy captured by Pakistan Air Force and is currently in display at PAF Museum Karachi.

Commodore Aerospace Corp. Oklahoma City,OK for O-2 and Cessna 337 Skymaster: aircraft sales, parts sales, refurbishing and inspections.

Let's see 337 from 1963-1982 total 2900 sold approximately

This is supposed to be about the plane itself and not all the stuff like marketing. Marketing failed but not the plane. 💀
