Actually, the Airbus A310 with the registration number 10+25 of the Air Force was supposed to carry out its last official flight on February 24 after 33 years of service. But the Russian invasion of Ukraine thwarted those plans. The Air Force has canceled the aircraft's planned farewell tour to Hahn Airport, Wunstorf, Nordholz and Stuttgart because it wants to keep the wide-body aircraft available as a MedEvac aircraft.

That A310 refuses to give up. That’s the second time it’s retirement has been delayed. First because of COVID, now the Ukraine crisis.
