That's awesome - and something that could never happen in the United States ... which sucks.

A Panavia Tornado was shooting the pattern near the Air Force base in my backyard Thursday; reminded me of the Lambo clip.

I've never seen a Tornado (other than the kind we get during thunderstorms). I see A10's F16's, 15's, 18's, and all sorts of military fighters/transports on a daily basis being 1 mile from the local Air National Guard base here.

Where do you live?

Near McChord Air Force Base, outside of Tacoma (Washington).
I haven't figured out yet what the hell a Tornado was doing here; my understanding is that no country on this continent flies them.
They are cool as hell - like a smaller version of the old F-111.

Most likely the German FWIC (Fighter weapons instructor's course) are out playing with the USAF.  Usually they do it at Holloman AFB, but who knows?

No doubt. We had F18's here all weekend along with the A-10's stationed here.

The F-111 was a huge bird. Most of them are in Australia now.

The Tornado is large but not huge.
Think F-111 but F-14 sized.

The rear tire on the F-111 is almost up to my waist......I'm 6'2''. I remember when Reagan sent F-111's to bomb Libya.

Awesome.
