That red and black Rafale paint scheme is otherworldly kickass!!

The tornado to me the best looking fighter bomber especially with the wings on full swept back mode. It always reminds me of the tornado skimming the desert dunes in the first gulf war.

@@chrisluby840 Not really the worst thing (I can think of a few other decisions that top it); it was a dated airframe and in spite of all the modernisation that had been undertaken, the inherent design and technological limitations of the Tornado meant the improvements that could be made had - no pun intended - hit the ceiling. The Eurofighter beats it in just about every category it needs to in order to justify its own (exorbitant) cost.
