German Air Force Tornado

Post by sprocky »

Just saw three (!) Tornados from the German Air Force close to my house. They came from south turned somewhere north of my house and came back for another turn about 2 miles southwest of my house creating nice contrails in the humid air. Sadly I have no camera with a proper zoom so there are no pics :cry: I could not even see the markings...

Since more and more german bases are disbanded it became very rare to see some miltary a/c in my region. And today I saw three of them! It must be more than a year ago since I saw the last Phantom. The only military aircraft regulary passing our village is the C-160 Transall from ETNW. They fly low level and the pilot could probably see the ring on my waving hand :wink: Usually they use an acre excecising landing procedures but do not touch down going around for another approach.
