I hope it was AI collective autopilot that was coordinating all that. Wouldn't want to be the humans who had to plan it and train for it.

Nice one Yazata (situation normal). The pomp and silliness has left me cold but that was .. a thing. The Royal Air Force Tornado doesn't do 'stealth'. Going vertical with after-burners on it is a large plane with with an alien thrust to weight ratio of 1.2:1 and is the LOUDEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD.
