The first three Eastern European aircraft that arrived in Hermeskeil were a Hungarian An-2 and Mi-1, and this East-German built VEB-14P from Poland, which arrived in 1988, before the fall of the Iron Curtain in late 1989.

Tiger, tiger, tiger.......

3076 is one of 55 F-16E single-seater "Desert Falcons" in service with the UAEAF since 2004. Built in 2006, this airframe previously carried US FY number 00-6051 and is reported to be assigned to Shaheen / Squadron 2 based at Al Dhafra AB. Note the rather massive Raytheon AGM-88C HARM missile under the wing. HARM stands for High-Speed-Anti-Radiation-Missile and it's purpose is to cause harm to radar installations. However, in this picture, the 4 meter long missile does not carry any explosives, as can be seen by the blue ring on the missile. The UAE has about 160 AGM-88 in its inventory.

Built for the US Army as 72-21485, then civil registered as N72954 in 2011. Delivered to Dominican Republic Air Force in February 2023.

Of TLG 31 'Boelcke' at Nörvenich (ETNN).

A pretty Il-14 preserved at Hermeskeil, which lies east of Luxembourg.
