Hi gents,
A historical flight took place on Feb.20,2012, when Major Winkler , Technical Test Pilot LIG 21 with2028h F-4 Flight Hours was the pilot and his backseater LtCol. Rex Stab FlgGrp JG 71"R" flew the last NPF (Nachprüfflug) = Acceptance Check Flight (NPF -4DC) from Jever Air Base that day lasted 45 minutes.
Aircraft 38+28 was since 01.11.2011 for the 2.HPO ( Hourly Postflight Inspection ) in Jever, and was adorned with a special c/s as it was the lastGAF F-4F which flew a NPF out of Jever Airbase under command of LIG 21.In 45 years in Jever LIG-21 succesfully completed 361 DI - Depotinstandsetzung, 31 HPO - Hourly Postflight Inspection and 23 Periodic Inspection on all GAF F-4F.
That was the main reason to give the last "F-4 Phantom" a special c/s for 45 years in Schortens and all three badges from all maintenance units which were responsible to maintained the F-4 in 45 years have been applied too..............
With the phlyout in Wittmund on June 29, 2013 the last operational F-4 unit JG 71 "R" will loose there last mighty Phantoms and will fly Eurofighter Typhoons.
