Typhoon #400 - First flight Feb. 6,2014 Nörvenich Air Base

Post by migf4 » Fri Feb 07, 2014 4:14 pm

Hi gents....

The TaktLwG 31 "Boelcke" (German Air Force) took delivery of the 400th Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft yesterday morning, after the a/c was handed over to the GAF on Wednesday 4th December 2013 during special ceremony at Cassidian’s Military Air Systems Center in Manching, Southern Germany.
Finally after many attempts and almost two months, the "400" is in Nörvenich....luckily the wx was great, and so we could witness the first flight with the adorned EUROFIGHTER TYPHOON!

Cheers,
Mick
