RAF Tornado makes emergency landing at MIA
Yet another Royal Air Force Tornado fighter jet has made an emergency landing at Malta International Airport.
Residents in Attard, Zebbug, Qormi and Luqa woke up to the sonic boom of the RAF Tornado as it approached Gudja at 06:30am.
The fighter jet - involved in operations over Libya - requested an emergency landing after reportedly running out of fuel at dawn.
This is the second RAF Tornado to make an emergency landing at MIA in the space of a week.
Numerous French Mirage-Dassault and USAF F-16's have already made emergency landings over the past weeks.

Jien wicci dejjem mikxuf u kulhadd jaf kif nahsibha jien. Mieghek kulhadd jaf fejn hu. Il-problema tal-elber hi li tant ghandhom passat moqziez li jien naghtihom mhafna u hafna fastidju bil-kemmenti tieghi specjalment f'din il-gazzetta li qiesha l-lehen ufficjali tal-PL. Il-PN iggieled u bata hafna biex illum kulhadd hjandu dritt ghall-opinjoni tieghu u kulhadd jista' jesprimiha bil-liberta kollha. U jien dejjem kont inkun quddiem fil-glieda ghal-liberta.

Ghal informazzjoni tieghek jien nittnejk x'tghamel int u x'kien jghamel mintoff! Jien m'ghandix allat fil-politika, ghax huma kollha oppurtinisti, u jiena nghamel bhalhom! Bhalissa il-partit li qed inhossu qrib tal-hsibijiet u tal-principji tieghi huwa l-PL! Fi zmienijiet ohra meta kienu jigru affarijiet ohra u Eddie kien qisu l-feddej tal-poplu Malti, kont nahsibha mod iehor, izda mort zmerc, ghax qatt ma kont garrabt lill-PN fil-gvern!Sal-1996 kienu diga' qazzuni, ahseb w ara s'issa! U int titkellem b'lenti bluna biss u ma tistax tidhol f'diskussjoni mieghek, ghax moghomi fuq il-PN. Jaf ghandek ir-ragunijiet tieghek u ghandek kull dritt, izda min hu ta' fehma differenti minnek ukoll ghandu dritt, trid jew ma tridx inti!! U dawn huma hafna u fl-elezzjoni li gejja se jitkellmu car, bhalma ghamilna fir-referendum! Ieqfu ahsbu li n-nies ghadhom cwiec! Issa naraw x'gej!

Il-fatt tal -misthija hu, li Malta qed isservi ta' bazi militari f'operazzjonijiet militari kontra pajjiz girien taghna, u qed tinkiser l-KOSTITUZZJONI TA' MALTA! Ma' nafx ghaliex dan is-silenzju mill-Partit Laburista dwar dan! Ma' nahsibx li xi hadd qed jemmen li dawn qed jinzlu minhabba nuqqas ta' fuel!! Kieku qeghdin sew mill-'logistics' l'ajruplani tan-NATO!!!! Imorru jibbumbardjaw u ma' jkounx ikkalkulaw jekk ghandomx fuel biex imorru lura!!! Kemm hsibtuna cwiec DeMartino & Co??????
U bilhaqq, daqs kemm inti tixtieq li jiqghu jigu ajruplani tal-gwerra tan-NATO hawn Malta, taht l'iskuza banali li spiccalhom il-fuel, daqshekk iehor jiena nixtieq li jintilef l'investiment kollu li hemm gol-Libya!! Min hu traditur ma' haqqux ahjar, sur gharef ta' ghajni!!! U taf kemm ikun hawn xi erbgha pupatturi tal-partit tieghek li jibdew jiehdu l'imodium'!!!!!!

I stand to be corrected, but how can an aircraft approaching the airport create a sonic boom as reported?
For that to happen the aircraft would have to be travelling at over 700 mph.
