This is a takeoff run, so he is climbing at this point.
That said, I think a Tornado could fly at low level quite comfortably for a while. Iβve seen them fly the whole length of the runway at this level. They also come screaming down valleys a couple of hundred feet below the tops of the hills-

Thank you James. The wheels already back in, and it seems to be going pretty fast

He was fast alright! A bit of showboating from the pilot I think!

Nice crisp shot in what looks like pretty crappy light. Good panning!

Everyone should take care when a Tornado (the weather spawned or man-made kind) gets this close to the ground!

That's the squadron that was involved in the crash in Scotland isn't it?

It is. XV squadron are suppying the Tornado display this year. They posted on their Facebook page a couple days after the crash 'The show must go on'.

You've gotta respect them for that attitude

I really wanted to go this year, but wasn't able to - the lineup sounded pretty damn good! How did it play out with the weather, was the show able to go on still? Great shot, Tornados are my favourite hahah

It was bit damp, but only stopped for about 15 minutes about lunch time when the heavens really opened. I've been to shows in much worse!

I was caught out in the rain briefly the last few days and that was bad enough, must have been an effort to get good photos!

It was getting a bit misrable towards the end. The show was worth it though!
