Rod1 the Tornado hit the Cessna from approx th37 o'clock position whilst travelling in excess of 250 metres per second. Now tell what civilian aircraft the Cessna pilot could have been flying that would have allowed him to see the mil jet and take avoiding action. It is interesting to note the official BOI gave the cause of the accident as "The failure of the 2 pilots to see each other". How the hell do you see something coming up your *rse at that speed?
