And that's this years budget gone spent to replace them.
Most of Scotland is classed as a military low flying zone, so you frequently see Tornados flying around just overhead at a few hundred meters. Hope they find the pilots, I hope it isn't as foggy up there as it is here. [editline]3rd July 2012[/editline] Update, they rescued 2 of the 4 pilots.
