It's hard to believe the Tornado's are this old but it was 25 years ago right now that I was at Canadian Forces Base Lahr, West Germany, on the edge of the housing development where Canadian solders were kept, standing on a curb when a seemingly endless string of Tornado's emerged from a cloud bank to land at a nearby airfield.

I thought that was pretty cool.

Also pretty cool to be driving on the base and not know what a small red light was for at the end of an airstrip and have two Canadian F104 Starfighters do the splits at nought altitude right over my head as they were taking off. No one lost an eye so I guess it was okay.

Good trout fishing on that base. And eels from the French who preceded the Canadians.
