I've had the possibility to catch the Tornado 45+99 at Lechfeld, Bavaria. This is a special coloured Tornado, which was based at GAF Training Squadron Holloman, New Mexico. It is history very soon. Enjoy and have a nice weekend....

Actualy it's a shame that a plane with such a quality has to be fased out.
What would the air force world be with an update equal like the F16 ?
Haven't seen low flying in the dessert lower than the Tornade movies/actions did.

Great shots Olli,
What do you mean with its history soon? Do you mean the special coloured tornado 45+99 will be history soon and will be repainted back into grey, or the tornado aircraft will be history? I hope they leave this great paint some time and show it on airshows next summer so the public can see this awesome design.
Greetings Wim

Thank you Wim,
this aircraft don't got much flight hours left so it supposed to be retired very soon ..., at least they paint it grey again. So there is no chance to see this one in the summer I think. But there will be a new Tiger Tornado for NTM.

Nice ones Olli!
Amazing detail, too. If you look at the tiny dot in front of the Tornado (just over the mountain range) on the full tail in the picture and then check out the amount of detail on the alien spaceship...
