A German air force Eurofighter has received special tail markings as part of commemorations to mark the 50th anniversary of the service’s Fighter Wing 74. The Luftwaffe unit began operating the type in July 2006.

Staged at Neuburg/Donau air base on 9 June, the jubilee event involved a total of 11 Eurofighters from the German and Austrian air forces, plus German air force McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantoms and Panavia Tornados.
