Active on 8.8 were the following Tornado IDS/ECR of TLwG 51:
43+45, 45+77, 46,05, 46+23, 46+25, 46+36
44+75 and 46+40 were on the ramp with the two missing Tornados of the detachment were hided in the hangars.
This week only a morning mission will be flown. Four of the Tornados performed together an incredible sixteen overshoots/touch and go“s before their full stop.
46+36 showed a rarely seen short landing needing some 1.100m landing distance only leaving the runway near the tower.

The two special painted MFG 5 Sea King Mk.41 89+58 and 89+63 did another farewell tour on 15.08. via Kiel and Hohn. On the return leg 89+58 became u/s and had to be left behind at Hohn, after some nice low approaches there.
Another issue had the TLwG 51 detachment with ECR 46+40 had an precautionary (emergency) landing on the same day.
The TLwG 51 Tornados departed back to Jagel on 20.8. In a few days the runway here will be closed until early-November and the base will only stay open for helicopters.
