Fighter jets scramble over airline terror alert
« on: December 28, 2006, 08:30:38 PM »
Tornado jet fighters are being scrambled on intercept counter-hijacking operations every month to check on commercial airliners flying into British airspace, the head of the RAF has disclosed to The Times.

It is the first time since the end of the Cold War that fighters are being regularly scrambled from UK air bases to monitor aircraft in national airspace.
