Courtney,

Carefree handling throughout the flight envelope. Could you not bring yourself how great it was. The one thing that could be said is that the Tornado is/was easy to fly, however, not as easy to operate.
The aircraft was fitted with a Spin Prevention and Incidence Limiting System SPILS which while achieving it's aim it did limit the performance at high AoA. An improved system was available but the MOD would not pay for the enhancement.
