#Farewell

A quick video put together of some of my videos and stills I have taken of this iconic jet.
The Tornado will be retired March 2019 after 40 years service.

Farewell beautiful powerful TORNADO!! All my respect transferred to YOU!!🙏♥️

I well remember being at RAF Cottesmore TTTE in early 1980 when one of the first jets arrived and I was struck by how small they looked. Within a few months more and more arrived from Warton, West Germany and Italy. At any time you could see planes taking off and landing. It became extremely busy. My favourite jet of all time and immensely proud of how brilliantly it performed. Like many others I am so sad that Tornado has been retired even though it is still one of the very best of its kind.

Fabulous filming and stills of the most incredible aircraft that I had pleasure in flying. Thank you.

You a pilot?

I can still remember seeing the first production aircraft fly from the MBB factory in Manching, West Germany, when I was the Canadian NATO Forces on FALLEX 78, I was with 4 Combat Engineer Regiment at CFB Lahr. At first we couldn't figure what it was with that huge rudder, but it didn't taken long after they started doing touch and goes at the airfields at CFB Lahr and CFB Baden-Sollingen.

Great footage of this jet. The First week of March 2020 I have had the privilege of seeing 9 of these along with 9 Euro Typhoon's, about 14 F-35's, 4 F-16's and 2 in air US tankers coming in for a Landing at Nellis AFB, North Las Vegas NV, USA.

I'm late to the party, sorry. What a majestically beautiful aircraft this was. Effective, dynamic and with some longevity. Deserves to be remembered. Thank you for this great video.

Incredible video. Shame we'll never see them do that again :(

BEAUTIFUL

[@andrewireland7560]

My best plane the TORNADO GR4 👏 I will miss them flying at Coningsby, Marham it's so sad end of a fantastic era 😥👏👍 R.I.P but I will see the German 🇧🇪 tornados come to Waddington this year and at Riat airshow this year

[@jihgok1969]

R u their ground crew? Can u pls explain what was the difference between the swing wing and the normal tornado

[@fredtedstedman]

nothing seems as fast as a Tornado when you're watching . !

[@125brat]

It was a very sad day when I saw their farewell fly-pasts, as I spent 9 years on the front-line working on them at Marham and TTTE. It is (The Germans and I think Italians are still flying them) a very capable and successful aircraft and it was a big mistake for the UK to retire them early and replace them with the F-35 heap of junk.

[@jpasby779]

@ 125brat, lol, I can't agree or disagree. This seems to have been better than the F-111 and F-14 Tomcat flown by the US. It was nice to see them in person fly over North Las Vegas in march 2020.

[@abbamanic]

Same mistake retiring these amazing machines as they did with the Harriers. Are we not led by utter idiots?

[@xevil--beast28x84]

As much as I share in your sadness for the retirement of this amazing aircraft, it's simply too old and the factories that used to make spare parts for them don't exist anymore, if anything the retirement came at just the right time 😔
