Background storyFighter
Bomber Wing 32 was set to service in 1958 at Lechfeld
airbase and assigned to NATO in 1959. The first aircraft to be flown on
the Lechfeld after WW II was the F-84F THUNDERSTREAK. It's era ended 1966 after
80.000 flying hours. The Lechfeld itself has a very long
and interesting story. Established as a training range for the royal
bavarian army artillary, it hosted later on one of the first bavarian
airfields and during the nazi regime the famous Me-262. Tthe first jet
fighter aircraft - basis for all (US) jets - was build and tested at the
lechfeld. |

From 1965 until 1984 the
legendary F-104 STARFIGHTER flew 200.000 hours on the Lechfeld before the
Fighter Bomber Wing 32 started its conversion to the MRCA (Multi Role
Combat Aircraft) PA-200 TORNADO in the IDS (Interdictor Strike) version. |

In 1991 a new version of
the TORNADO was introduced to the Luftwaffe: the ECR (Electronic
Combat and Reconaissance). |
