My guess is, waiting for better weather conditions to return to Nörvenich. But that's just a guess....
Didn't hear anything, so I guess it didn't depart...

The jet is broken, so it returned back to the shelter!

1. As far as I know, it was on the ORP for three hours waiting for the weather to clear. But as Nörvenich is closed on Friday afternoons, it had to taxi back. I don't think it had any technical issues.

2. Does a Tornado fit in the shelters at Volkel? A Tornado's tail is 1 meter higher...

1. As we towed it ourself to Hangar 4, because of the technical issues, I’m sure is has technical issues;). Ofcourse it could be the weather in the first place, but now it is broken.

2. They did before, but as far as I know not anymore, because of the modification done for the F35.
