Channel 4’s “Top Guns: Inside the RAF” returns Tuesday night, giving us another dose of high-octane action and a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the Royal Air Force. This episode takes us from the control room of a Reaper spy drone hunting ISIS targets in Iraq to the bustling tarmac of NATO’s largest European airbase in Romania.
At RAF Waddington, we witness the precision and tension of a drone operation as pilots control the Reaper from afar, making life-or-death decisions from thousands of miles away. Meanwhile, in Romania, a pilot contends with the pressure of a looming promotion just weeks before his wedding. And back in the UK, the RAF faces a different kind of challenge: keeping their brand-new jet a secret from eager aviation enthusiasts.
“Top Guns: Inside the RAF” gives viewers unprecedented access to the technology and personnel that keep Britain’s skies safe. It’s a world of cutting-edge machinery and highly skilled individuals working under immense pressure. Tune in to Channel 4, Tuesday, March 4th at 9:00 PM.
