Hawkeye's-911T 04-27-2012 10:38 AM

OK Paul

Ya got me stumped. It looks as though it is a variable geometry wing type aircraft
(F-14 Tomcat) yet there seems to be no tailhook & the engine inlets look a bit small - with may in part be due to the angle of bank of the plane & how the photo
may have some kind of inherent distortion.

Cheers

It's a British plane. Don't know what type.

Panavia Tornado. I believe it is actually another one of those collaborative companies like Airbus.

Could be, I know the pic was taken in the UK.

^^^ That would explain the small engine inlets & lack of a tailhook. I was only about 10 miles off on my guess - Thanks Max & Paul

You have to land with the rows, not across them. :eek:
