Embark on this amazing opportunity with a friend at the Tornado Heritage Centre, nestled near Chester. The Centre boasts a fully restored and pristine Panavia F3 Tornado, with serial code ZE966 and the call sign VT, retired from service in 2007 after gracing the skies since 1990. This remarkable aircraft played an active role during the Gulf war, soaring through the skies on long-duration combat air patrols (CAPs), often in tandem with the Boeing E3D Sentry.
Designed to safeguard UK airspace, this Tornado was formidable force capable of engaging multiple targets simultaneously. With a range extending over 300 nautical miles from its base, it could patrol for more than three hours without faltering. But the magic doesn't stop there; visitors to the Heritage Centre are granted exclusive access to this legendary aircraft and the passionate individuals who maintain its legacy.

A cockpit tour of the Tornado promises an up-close encounter with aviation history, offering insights into its operational intricacies.

It's the only working example of its kind in existence, making your journey back in time all the more extraordinary.
