In November 1984 the German Air Force obtained two Su-20 fighters from Egypt. These aircraft provided Erprobungststelle 61 (the test unit) with a great opportunity to test Soviet built hardware. Between 26 June and 21 October 1985 a total of 26 flights were made with this exotic plane. Here is it seen stored without markings. Later the aircraft was transferred to the Gatow museum.

Shortly after the NVA received Su-20s from the Soviet Union the BND (West German Federal Intelligence Service) managed to acquire two examples from Egypt that were subsequently performance evaluated by WTD 61 at Manching. One of these ex-Egyptian machines is now on show at the Luftwaffenmuseum der Bundeswehr at Gatow.

Seen at the Luftwaffe Museum. Unfortunately all the markings are painted out, strange for a museum aircraft.

Preserved at the Luftwaffenmuseum at Gatow on that rainy day.
