 After
along hard and hard abstinence from jet noise and the smell
of keroseneI got twice the possbility to observe and photograph
the flight operations of the Jagdbombergeschwader 32 ECR (Fighter
Bomber Wing 32, or JaboG32), which is the only wing of the
German Air Force to employ the unique Tornado ECR (Electronic
Combat & Reconnaissance).
 This
special version of the tri-national European all-weather combat
aircraft is equipped with new sensors, avionics and weapons
to encounter hostile threats. Operating such a complex aircraft
and applying new tactics to succesfully deploy their weapons
the pilots and weapon systems officers (WSO) train their skilly
daily during day and night.
By invitation of the 1. Squadron, the "Lechfeld Tigers"
(www.321tigers.de)
I have had the possibility to attend their daily training
flights and to take the following photographs. Thanks a lot
for their support!
Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!
