I am still looking forward to see its slightly revised colourscheme in daylight, as this jet is the last Tornado still retaining the basic Norm 83 green. #tornado #panaviatornado #afterburner #reheat #RB199 #nightflying #bluehour #luftwaffe #bundeswehr #wtd61 #aviationdaily #aviationphoto #fighterjet #aviationphotography

After bad weather and a cloud-covered first day, a clear blue sky revealed the snow covered mountain tops the following day. There can't be a better scenery for Swiss Air Force Hornets. I wonder how their F-35s will look in that surrounding. #fliegerstaffel11 #meiringen #haslital #f18hornet #fa18 #boeinglovers #switzerland🇨🇭 #swiss #aircraftphotography

Full details are however under the veil of darkness when it took off for this night flight. #tornado #panaviatornado #afterburner #reheat #RB199 #nightflying #bluehour #luftwaffe #bundeswehr #wtd61
