I was there at the time,I was chatting to my father in law to be outside the Lightning Sim, with a sandstorm on the horizon, we were surprised to see 4 jets launched. By the time I had legged it back to my abode viz was zero, just thick red sand. Two jets were talked down by the tower the other two refused the offer.Eventually the only option was Martin Baker. The reason for the whole thing? Brownie points for providing an escort for the local prince returning in his B707 from a shopping spree in Riyadh.
