Homebee Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) A few pics from a quick visit at Wittmund air base on last week. The Discovery Air A-4N Skyhawk are acting as target towing a/c for the seven Austrian Luftstreitkräfte Eurofighters currently deployed on Air Practice Camp in Lower Saxony. . V.P. With all my thanks to Taktisches Luftwaffengeschwader 71 Richthofen - Stab S1 InFü/Pr/ÖA Edited May 6, 2017 by Homebee 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canberraman Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 A good set of shots Homebee. I can never understand why they can't be persuaded to attend RIAT. Thanks for posting. Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latinbear Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Superb! My favourite is the Eurofighter in the HAS. I think the shelters with the grass and bushes covering them housing an aircraft in are really evocative and remind me of the pictures we used to see during the cold war. Thanks for posting these.

airjiml2 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I never thought I'd see an A-4 with the maple leaf on the tail. Thank you for posting the excellent photos. What the the pod with an intake under the fuselage on three of the aircraft? ECM pod? Generator? Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Probably it's a ducted fan RAT to drive the target towing winch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
