SHOCK HORROR, HOLD THE FRONT PAGE. Tornado F3 burns more gas with flap failure from Akrotiri and needs more gas. What would you have done then? Continued till you flamed out then ejected? Get the facts straight before you sling $hit or you'll look like a complete **** (it might be too late already!)
Anyway, let's not forget you started this rant because the GR4 wasn't getting enough publicity and the F3 got some good press. Good to see Tony Blair up at Leuchars today meeting the brave AD boys who helped keep Saddam's fighters off your sorry a$$es. Much as I wouldn't like to see you guys get to meet one for real, I'd like to see your best gameplan against a Mirage F1 or Mig21 when it mattered. How would a fully laden underpowered 'Swing Winged Messenger of Death' rate against a Mig29?
