The British Prime Minister was visiting RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire to inspect a Quick Reaction Alert station last week. The video was shot when Boris Johnson was given a demonstration of a Typhoon fighter jet by the pilots and air crews.
The outgoing PM claimed that he briefly took control of the aircraft to perform some tricks. Johnson told the reporters that when Wing Commander Paul Hansen asked him if he wants to fly the jet, he took the opportunity and pushed the joystick.
