I always wondered what AWACS stood for...
Fact of the Day: The Tornado F3 AWACS (Airplane With A Circular Spinner) monitors #climatechange at high altitude (999,999.9ft) & uses 2x 2.8ltr turbo diesel engines to power it to 3,600mph so that it can gather the data for #ClimateEmergency quicker! #Sustainability #AvGeekpic.twitter.com/z88LBujSqp

Extra lift is provided by the spinny thing on top as well as saving on fuel and extending the range.

Has someone fitted a couple of turbo to the trusty Canny Canberra so she can keep up ?

Keep up? The Canberra pilot has to keep it in first gear so as not to leave the F3 tornado AWACS (Airplane With A Circular Spinner) behind
