A tornado followed a plane as it took off from a U.K. airport (mobile.twitter.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Maybe that's what happened to Malaysia flight 370. It got sucked up in a tornado and landed in the Emerald City.
Not sure if hilarious or too soon
Am I the only one who clicked on the link hoping for a cool shot of a Tornado GR4 following a passenger jet? ;-}
You and me both, followed by a sense of disappointment when it didn't turn out to be an RAF "invitation to land" for some mysterious reason!
Ryanair, you have a tornado at your 6 o'clock, 5 miles, and we do not mean a high performance RAF aircraft.
A number of years ago, I flew out of ORD in the middle of tornado warnings - funnel clouds all around. Within a matter of 2-3 minutes, we were over the clouds in sunny clear blue skies. A lot safer than the folks still on the ground.
