Mig-29 Fulcrum Squadron Badge

What a beautiful bird

The End of an Era: Yesterday, the German Luftwaffe handled over its last Mig-29 Fulcrums to Poland, ending the somehwhat symbolic era in which the German Air Force operated fighter aircrafts inherited from its former foe, the East German Volksarmee. The Polish Air Force has bought all 22 German fighters for one symbolic Euro in order to replace their older Mig-21 machines until the delivery of new F-16 fighters will start in 2006. Germany has sold their Fabulous Fulcrums, one of the most fascinating and possibly the most beautiful warbird ever, in order to free capacity for the finally arriving Jäger 90 Eurofighter. Jg 73 Steinhoff Fulcrum Squadron will now be converted into the central Eurofighter training center.
