All pilots of the German Air Force receive their conversion training for the Eurofighter at Tactical Fighter Wings 73 "Steinhoff" at Laage Air Base, close to Rostock in Northeastern Germany. 30+01 was the first two-seater to be delivered to the German armed forces, and is still active today. Johannes "Macky" Steinhoff was a WW2 fighter ace and later became a central figure in the reorganization of the German Air Force during the Cold War.
Please note: An optional display stand is available separately if you wish to display this model "in-flight".
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.
