Taktisches Luftwaffengeschwader 31 "Boelcke" (Tactical Wing 31), formerly known as Jagdbombergeschwader 31 (Fighter-Bomber Wing 31), is a fighter-bomber wing of the German Air Force. The wing is based in West Germany at Norvenich Air Base. Its role are Air Interdiction, Offensive Counter Air and Close Air Support. The wing flies the Eurofighter Typhoon.
On December 4th, 2013, the Wing took delivery of the 400th Eurofighter to roll off the production line. To celebrate the occasion, this aircraft was given a colorful paint scheme and was presented in a special ceremony at the Military Air Systems Center in Manching, Germany.
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 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
