Typhoons of XI Squadron recently deployed to North America for a heavy weapons detachment and to participate in a large close air support exercise. These two FGR4s are carrying Paveway II bombs, while visible on the centreline station of the aircraft peeling away from the camera is a Litening III laser designator pod. This enables a Typhoon to self-designate its own LGBs and 'spike' targets for other aircraft. It is also useful for identifying targets and in Wg Cdr Parker's view has great potential as an NTISR asset.
