Thanks again Steve and Mike...loved hearing about the Tornado. Spent a lot of time watching and admiring them as an F-111 guy...seemed a sporty version and Mike seemed to bear that out.

Steve great interview as always! I can see Mike Napier's mind going a mile a minute,while reminiscing about the aircraft and his Sorties. Very interesting about the mechanical worries of refueling with the Tornado and possible breakage of the nozzle,and the swept wing approach,for instrument ratings.You have a gentle , very engaging way of coaxing the best out of your guests !... Thank you Steve and Mike Napier for sharing your knowledge on the Tornado, a very impressive aircraft that requires a skillful, intelligent, but intuitive pilot!
