I always wondered, how slow can a tornado fly? If i'm bimbling along in a C152 with flaps out at 70Kts, is it going to be more "repeated fly-bys" than "shepherd"?
During the 2012 Olympics I remember being told that slow flying airspace incursions of the sep variety would be greeted by a helicopter (puma?). If radio formalities failed a marksman in the back would proceed to take out the offending pilot and/or engine block with a sniper rifle! Somewhat less glamorous, if no less lethal, than a fast jet interception.
