Description In this episode of The Fighter Show, we go behind the scenes at RAF Coningsby with Squadron Leader Nathan Shawyer, the 2025 RAF Typhoon Display Pilot, during the 20th anniversary season of the Eurofighter Typhoon Display Team.
Nathan gives us a full behind the scenes tour of the display team’s headquarters and explains how he designed this year’s routine - featuring high-G 90° turns, powerful EJ200 engine passes and a dramatic crowd-rear arrival. He shares insights into the planning, the people behind the scenes and what it takes to deliver over 50 displays across the UK and Europe.
We hear about Nathan’s career from Tornado GR4 pilot to Typhoon instructor and face of the Royal Air Force. Nathan also discusses his passion for inspiring the next generation of fighter jet pilots, just as he was inspired at air shows himself. Highlights include his upcoming appearance at RIAT 2025 and more.
The episode features plenty of stunning footage of the Eurofighter Typhoon in action - on the ground and in the air.
