Luftwaffe Grey Wall Art

Luftwaffe Grey — 2 museum-grade prints in this palette. The F-4F was a Luftwaffe-specific derivative of the F-4E Phantom II — roughly eleven percent lighter, without the seventh internal fuel tank or USAF-style aerial refuelling probe, but fitted with leading-edge slats for improved manoeuvrability in the interceptor role. Jagdgeschwader 71 "Richthofen" at Wittmundhafen Air Base was Germany's last operational Phantom wing, flying grey Norm 90J camouflage Phantoms through farewell ceremonies in 2013 before transitioning to the Eurofighter Typhoon. The Panavia Tornado ECR was Germany's answer to NATO's suppression-of-enemy-air-defences requirement — a two-seat variant of the IDS strike bomber with cannon bays repurposed for Emitter Location System hardware and RB199 Mk 105 engines to carry AGM-88 HARM missiles at standoff range. TaktLwG 51 Immelmann, named for First World War ace Max Immelmann, operates from Schleswig Air Base at Jagel in Schleswig-Holstein and absorbed the ECR fleet when Fighter Bomber Wing 32 disbanded at Lechfeld in April 2013, consolidating Germany's Wild Weasel capability under one wing alongside tactical reconnaissance and maritime strike roles.
