LUFTWAFFE -
GERMAN AIR FORCE ex-NVA MiG-29's |
|
| |
| After the German
unification the only former NVA-jets to be integrated in the GAF were
the 20 x MiG-29A and 4 x MiG-29UB from the former Fighter Wing 3. |
| The airplanes were
renamed in MiG-29G (29+01
→ 29+12
& 29+14
→ 29+21) and MiG-29GT
(29+22
→ 29+25) after they recevied the necessary system
updates and changes. |
| In October 1991 the
"Testsquadron MiG-29" was created on the Preschen airfield
(base of former East-German FW 3)) |
| The Squadron was merged
with
Fighter Bomber Wing 35 in February 1993. The new unit was named Fighter Wing 73
and moved to Laage airbase. |
|
The Fulcrums were assigned to the 1st Squadron of FW73 on 31 May 1993. |
| 29+09
was destroyed in a crash on 25 Jun 1996, 29+03
is on display in the GAF Museum
in Berlin. |
|
The
remaining 22 were sold to Poland in 2003 and 2004, following the arrival
of the Eurofighter Typhoon at TAW73, for the symbolical price of 1
euro. |
| They were used
by 41 Eskadra Lotnictwa Taktycznego, based in Malbork unit early 2023. |
| Former GAF
29+16
crashed in Polish service on 06 Jul 2018. |
| Early 2023 Poland
donated the MiG-29's to Ukriane to help in their defence against the
russian invadors. |
