Eurofighter Typhoon EF-2000

7L+WC, Austrian AF  NATO Tiger Meet 2023

Hobby Master 1:72 HA6628

The NATO Fighter Squadron Association was founded in 1961 to promote solidarity between NATO air forces. Each year, it organizes a Tiger Meet to give member countries the opportunity to train together in simulated combat in the skies over Europe. Not only are these meetings an opportunity for NATO air forces to share ideas and experiences, they are also public relations exercises, and participating squadrons often decorate their aircraft with elaborate paint schemes based on tiger stripes. Although Austria is not a member of NATO, the Austrian Air Force often takes part in NATO exercises, thus emphasizing European defense cooperation and interoperability. The Eurofighters took part in complex training missions, including aerial maneuvers, air combat simulations and ground attack exercises. These exercises enabled Austrian pilots to train alongside their NATO counterparts, improving their skills and tactics.

Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.Mk 4
Designed as part of a co-operative effort by Germany, Italy and the UK to produce an air superiority fighter, the Eurofighter was first flown on March 27th, 1994. The Eurofighter is a single-seat, twin-engine, agile combat aircraft used in air-to-air, air-to-ground and tactical reconnaissance roles. It is intentionally aerodynamically unstable, which gives it its high levels of agility-but this means the Typhoon is controlled by a computerized "fly by wire" system instead of by its pilot. The Eurofighter's first rate performance is matched by excellent all round vision and by sophisticated attack, identification and defense systems and stealth technology.
