Video had emerged of the aircraft taxiing and taking off from the airport.
East Midlands Airport Police captured some amazing pictures and video as they were doing their perimeter patrols at the site.
The Eurofighter Typhoon, which will be based at RAF Coningsby, was unveiled to the public on Friday, after six months of work.
It has a standout colour scheme of red, white and blue, depicting the Union Jack flag to champion patriotism for the United Kingdom.
