Having worn several special tiger liveries with AG51, this 1983 MRCA was saved from scrapping and given fantasy colours, seemingly inspired by the Norm 95 scheme. It has badges of Einsatzgeschwader 1, that existed from 1995 to 2001, and Einsatzgeschwader Mazar-e-Sharif where Tornados participated from 2007 to 2010. AG51 contributed to both NATO operational wings. On the tank is an image of Eddie the Head as a WW2 fighter pilot with text 'Live to Fly - Fly to Live'.
