Nice shots... ;)

But, apart from the refueling, what makes that Lago Tornado special?  IMHO, the DSB F.3 and GR.4 coming up look just as good visually...and I haven't been particularly impressed by Lago payware in the past. :)

Actually the Vickers is part of the Tornado package. It allows you to midair refuel with any aircraft. Also included is a KC-10 with a boom, or drogue. Thats mostly the reason I got it. I do think the DSB model is better, but this one has a great panel and VC.

I disagree I prefer this model to the DSB one it looks more tornadoish. It has to be just right for me cause I'm a tornado nut I love it at airshows and almost exploded when four of them arrived all at once unexpectedly at biggen hill one year at the end of the day they took off in formation and the noise of eight eurojet engines on full power at once while I was right next to the them powering up was sublime.

Anyway I going to buy to cut a long story short kudos blade on a lovely set of shot.

Blade those are great pics I know a little about the Panavia Tornado the tornado was designed by Panavia and is the choice aircraft by the RAF and the Tornado can fly twice the speed of sound or Mach 2 the top speed is Mach 2.2 the top american attack aircraft is the F/A-18 the newest F/A-18F super hornet will fly mach 2 the tornado in size is bigger then the F/A-18.
