In 1991, the Tornados received a special “Desert Pink” livery for operations in the Gulf War. This aircraft received the title “MiG-Eater” after it had destroyed an Iraqi MiG. Please note: This model features wings permanently positioned in the forward-swept position for low-speed flight and take-off/landing. Designed in collaboration with Britain, West Germany and Italy, the Tornado was first flown on August 14th, 1974 and is thought by many to be the most important military aircraft in Western European history. Nicknamed "The Flying Fin" because of its large tail fin, the Tornado has a variable wing sweep design and is capable of taking off and landing on short airstrips. It is equipped with terrain-following radar, which allows for hands-off, low-level flight in any weather. There are three primary versions: an electronic combat/reconnaissance version, an interceptor and a highly versatile strike fighter-bomber capable of carrying almost all of NATO's air-launched weapons. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
