The Tornados and their crews really took a beating in the Gulf war. They were tasked with the job of cratering the Iraqi runways. This is low altitude work and exposed them to heavy AA fire. A number of planes and their crews were lost. They were a courageous group of guys.

But i understand you and if i had to choose between the Tornado or the F-35, i would definiteley take the Tornado. Even if you had to tape the canopy and the avionicbaydoors if you plan to park the aircraft not in a HAS or hangar, because it's not soooo waterproof. Flying low and fast is the best way of being stealthy ;o)).

@mrjockt 2 года назад

Saudi Arabia also operated the ADV variant, they purchased 24 to equip two squadrons, the 29th and 34th squadrons, but ended up disbanding the 34th and consolidating all the ADV’s with the 29th, they were in service from 1988 until 2006. Just for interest, in order to prevent damage to the aircraft if the pilot inadvertently tries to move the wings back with the flaps down or lower the flaps with the wings aft of fully forward there is a mechanical interlock inside the throttle box, the exception is using flaps and slats in manoeuvre demand mode, since this is done by electrical signal moving the wings aft cancels the MD input and retracts the flaps and slats before the wings move back.

We had Tornadoes stationed at Holloman AFB when I was there in the late 90s early 2000s. The Germans Air Force trained many of their pilots at Holloman back then. They seem to be a pretty good jet, but DAMN ARE THEY LOUD!

@Xethuron 2 года назад

German Tornado crews were first trained separatly in different training aircrafts and then meet at Holloman AFB to be trained on Tornado. And yes, Tornados are loud af. Even on the ground with both engines idle ground crews have to wear ear plugs, a noise canceling helmet and a belt (similar to motorcycle gear, to protect kidneys). When working near the starting jets you have to wear an additional suit to protect the whole torso.

@Hockernant 2 года назад

Amazing video Biz! My Uncle worked on Tornadoes there entire operational life in the RAF. He was still on the team during the scraping/retiring process as he was transferring to the Lightning 2 (F-35B) project. Tornadoes are an incredible machine, I was lucky enough to sit in one once.

@angusmcangus7914 Год назад

An old retired RAF Tornado pilot here (1982-1989) - A very good overview of the "Rolls Royce" of strike jets. Just a couple of points: First, the chronology of the UK projects which led to Tornado was TSR 2 (which would have been a fantastic strike aircraft) then AFVG after TSR2 was cancelled, then F-111 when AFVG fell apart and finally Tornado. It's true we wanted something bigger with longer range. We wanted TSR2! Second, SAHR = Secondary ATTITUDE and Heading Reference.

@robbrigham5926 2 года назад

Thank you for this - I remember vividly 33 years ago, as a 17 year old Air Cadet going on camp to RAF Bruggen and spending the days with a detachment who would tow the Tornados in 7 out of the hangars - I was allowed to sit in the cockpit and help with various tasks during this and was given a run through the various systems including the ground following mapping system which just seemed like something from Science fiction at the time - which now looks so dated compared to what we all have on our phones! Was nice to see around the cockpit again and see how much I remembered...

@realQuiGon 2 года назад

Awesome video! There are some small errors though: 11:50 Luftwaffe Tornados were not used for bombing over the Balkans, but for SEAD and thus only fired AGM-88 HARM air-to-surface missiles (about 300 of them!). They did not do any bombing. 13:10 The AGM-65 was never integrated into the Tornado. It had the Brimstone missile instead on the latest British Tornados.

@realQuiGon 2 года назад

@Phil Collins An air strike.

@realQuiGon 2 года назад

@Phil Collins Yes, bombings are air strikes, but not all air strikes are bombings. A pistol is a gun, but not every gun is a pistol. How can something be a bombing if no bombs are involved?

@realQuiGon 2 года назад

@Phil Collins The big difference between a rocket/missile and a bomb is the absence of propulsion in the latter. Hence you "drop" a bomb, but "shoot" a rocket/missile. A bombing in my book is a certain type of air strike, that involves dropping bombs on stuff, not shooting missiles/rockets.

Minor correction: Germany did actually end up buying 357 Tornados, the last 35 of which were ECRs. The ADV‘s very specific role (essentially, lurking over the North Sea waiting for Backfires) actually meant that is was only intended to replace a *part* of the RAF Phantom fleet. Those squadrons which would have had a higher chance of encountering Soviet fighters in a WW3 scenario would have kept their FGR2s, eventually converting to EFAs. Of course, the Fall of the Berlin Wall changed all these plans.

That's one tasty Sinn clock in the cockpit there. I recall Sinn (now also making wristwatches) doing a rerelease of this clock as a wristwatch. Good video as always, this time though I have noticed some slight desync between audio and video when you're talking e.g. at 3:35. Thank you!

Fantastic video and thanks very much for the incredible detail of the cockpit. I've been flying the F-14 in DCS and I'm surprised quite how similar the panels are and the location of panels too. Looking forward to the day when Heatblur create a Tornado simulation for DCS (one can dream!)

Do you have any plans or know of any way you could do a ''Inside The Cockpit'' on a J-35 Draken or a J/A-37 Viggen? I know of a local museum which has both but I have little clue if they would cooperate or if the cockpit is in any good shape. Other European countries like Finland, Denmark or Switzerland must have one in a museum I would guess. Just a thought, but during this pandemic I would understand if anything is out of question for the time being.

Would LOOOVE to see both. Good suggestion man.

My mother used to work for Siemans in the UK during the 80’s. They were heavily involved in the Tornado programme. She was always bringing home posters and model kits that they were given in the office. I of course was virtually obsessed with the plane! I do think the ADV was a mistake though. We should have bought Tomcats or Eagles and modified them to suit as we did with the Phantom

The early F-15A's radar was a complete dogs breakfast and the USA had to spend the GDP of a small country to get it to work. Tomcat without the AIM-54 was no better than the Tornado ADV and a lot more expensive (plus a pig to maintain). The Tornado ADV was designed to defend UK airspace from the threat that existed to the UK in the 1970's and 1980's. This threat was not fighters, but long range Soviet Bombers with long range stand off missiles. The AI.24 radar had no issues with dealing with bomber sized target, where it was useless was in dealing with smaller fighter sized aircraft and their manoeuvres (until a shedload of modifications were introduced).

@@richardvernon317 well a couple of responses to that. The F15 was working fine by the early 80’s, we may even have gotten an F15 with with the advanced APG-63 or even the APG-70 radar. The Tomcat granted was best with Phoenix, but with it’s auto wingsweep was a better Dogfighter than the ADV. RAF pilots have attested to this is interviews on youtube amongst other places. The ADV was a one trick fighter, and once the world started seeing Long range fighters (Su-27 series for instance) it was already obsolete. Imho we could have made better choices.
