From 1995 until 2001, twelve Tornados of the JaboG 32 and Reconnaissance Squadron 51 formed the German Operations Squadron 1 which – during the Kosovo War - completed over 500 operations taking-off from the Italian base Piacenza.
Please note: This model features wings permanently positioned in the forward-swept position for low-speed flight and take-off/landing.
Designed in collaboration with Britain, West Germany and Italy, the Tornado was first flown on August 14th, 1974 and is thought by many to be the most important military aircraft in Western European history. Nicknamed "The Flying Fin" because of its large tail fin, the Tornado has a variable wing sweep design and is capable of taking off and landing on short airstrips. It is equipped with terrain-following radar, which allows for hands-off, low-level flight in any weather. There are three primary versions: an electronic combat/reconnaissance version, an interceptor and a highly versatile strike fighter-bomber capable of carrying almost all of NATO's air-launched weapons. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
