Background storyOctober 4 until October 20 2010 the NATO Tiger Association conducted
the annual Tiger Meet. Host this year was the 313 Squadron Royal
Netherland Airforce (RNLAF) at Volkel Air Base. Like normally to those
events the 321 Tigers were granted to transform one of "their" ECR
Tornados into a "Tigerjet".
Designer of this special painting
was for the second time in row the professional designer Anton Kerner.
With his design and the pixel-type scheme he wanted for the first time
go on to a new evolution stage, an approach towards Tiger-Tornado 2.0 -
so to say - in close relation to the WWW.
Intentionally this
time NO Tigerjet to be touched was created which has many nice details
but which can only be seen and recognized by somebody standing right in
front of it. The "normal spotter" is positioned along the fence of the
airfield and stares through the optics of his camera watching airplanes,
parking, taxiing, taking off and landing. Exactly for this moment this
design was created and exactly then the jet has to look good. Many
people didn't recognize or understand this approach by Anton Kerner so a
rather kontroversal discussion started in the spotter scene and the
Tigerjet was given the nickname "Lego Bomber". Anton Kerner commented
this as follows: "... finally I am convinced that this is not only a
tigerjet with a special painting but already an art object. The form of
the airplane together with the minimalistic forms message of the paint
cover, construct a complete artwork which - typical for modern art -
polarizes in a strong way. It really is admirable that the squadron
showed such a large level of courage and open mindedness to realize this
extreme design outside of each "Tigerjet norm".
