RAF Typhoons in 'Star Wars desert' low-altitude exercise
542RAF Typhoon pilots have been pushing their skills to the limit alongside their Royal Jordan Air Force counterparts flying over a spectacular desert region where a number of blockbusters have been filmed.
Flying at speeds up to 400mph, the pilots from RAF Coningsby have been conducting flights just 500ft above over theWadi Rum desert in southern Jordan.
The desert was used for shooting films such as Lawrence of Arabia, Star Wars and more recently Dune. The RAF said the low-altitude sorties were not dissimilar to those of the Star Wars X-Wings in the iconic films.
