Ac notesFrom the 1980’s the Panavia Tornado was a staple of the UK, German and Italian airforces and along with the F-111 and B-1B dominated the low-level high speed interdiction bombing role for decades. There were also air defense variants. At the time it boasted the most sophisticated bomber / navigator station in service, the seat being dominated by 3 large cathode ray tubes. The flight plans were loaded via cassette tape and the Terrain Following Radar (TFR) enabled it to fly super-sonic at night and at altitudes down to 50 feet, a performance metric which is hard to match even in the 2020’s.
