RAF Tornado

The Tornado is a European multipurpose military aircraft well known around the world thanks to performances and flexibility. Designed and built as a collaborative project in the UK, Germany and Italy, the Tornado programme was initiated in 1968 and known as Multi-Role Combat Aircraft (MRCA). Since the early eighties the Tornado has been used in a lot of different real war missions and this makes the product interesting not only for the military enthusiast but also for all simmers. The possibility to explore a Flight Simulator scenery at a speed of Mach 2.2 could be another interesting features.
