On December 9, 2002 the first German Air Force Eurofighter was accepted at Manching. The Luftwaffe didn't use the name "Typhoon" because some proposed WWII anti-aircraft missiles were called Taifun (Typhoon in English). Eurofighter 31+45 c/n GS0105 was given a special paint scheme to mark the merging of TaktLwG71 "Richthofen" and TaktLwG73 "Steinhoff" at Air Force Base Laage. The usual home base for TaktLwG71is Wittmund but upgrading this base caused the merger. The aircraft was flown by Commodore Oberst Ramspott. The paint scheme motto is "Living The Spirit". Designed as part of a co-operative effort by Germany, Italy and the UK to produce an air superiority fighter, the Eurofighter was first flown on March 27th, 1994. The Eurofighter is a single-seat, twin-engine, agile combat aircraft used in air-to-air, air-to-ground and tactical reconnaissance roles. It is intentionally aerodynamically unstable, which gives it its high levels of agility-but this means the Typhoon is controlled by a computerized "fly by wire" system instead of by its pilot. The Eurofighter's first rate performance is matched by excellent all round vision and by sophisticated attack, identification and defense systems and stealth technology. © Copyright 2003-2023 The Flying Mule, Inc.
