1. Staffel Jagdbombergeschwader 32, named Die Tigers (The Tigers), was accepted by the NATO Tiger Association in 1994 as a

try-out member. This association was formed in 1961 to encourage solidarity among NATO air forces. The association organizes

every year meetings called Tiger Meet, during which joint exercises are also held. In 2001, a Tiger Meet was held in Kleine Brogel,

Belgium, for which 1st/JaboG 32 prepared a Tornado ECR with markings 46+44 in an impressive “tiger” marking.

46+45, 2./JaboG 38 „Friesland“, Jever, Germany, June 1993

Tornados ECR were the equipment of two units in German Luftwaffe, JaboG 32 and JaboG 38. The former unit was based at Lechfeld in Bavaria, while JaboG 38 was based in the north at Jever in Lower Saxony. This unit was established in August 1983 and was

armed with Tornado IDS multirole aircraft. ECR Tornados formed equipment of its 2. Staffel in 1989, and they were used until 1995,

when the ECR Tornados were handed over to JaboG 32. On August 31, 2005, JaboG 38 was disbanded.
