Well I guess leasing them is the next best thing, that's how the the Tornado F.3's are coming back from the Falklands.  These big birds frequent Calgary International fairly regularly too.

Rather old news. Came out before the first flight, just after South Africa cancelled. Luckily nothing to worry about :thumbsup:

Dated January 5, 2010 and published after a weekend conversation Enders had with Die Welt.

Evidently he's tired of the project causing a drag on the civil side:
