Panavia Tornado Variants

Thu Dec 16, 2004 3:54 pm

Since these are still in service, and therefore are technically not warbirds yet, I thought I would post my question here.

Can anyone tell me how to tell the difference between a Tornado GR.4 and a F.3? I have been Googling for line drawings or something to hightlight the differences but I have had no luck.

Hey Mike.

GR variants are bombers, they have fairings under the nose for laser designators and FLIRs.

F variants are fighters (duh! :P ). They have a more elongated nose.

Yeah, I was asking for that! :lol:

Thanks. Now I know what to look for.
