Panavia Tornado

This fighter jet was developed in collaboration with the United Kingdom, Italy, and West Germany in the 1970s. The Panavia Tornado was built to execute a wide range of combat missions and has since become a standard in numerous European militaries. It is still a part of some of them in this day and age. The three main variations were air defense, interdictor/strike, and electronic warfare/reconnaissance. While flying high in the sky, it may achieve Mach 2.2 speeds. At sea level, though, the maximum speed is 900 miles per hour. It is known for its maneuverability due to its variable-sweep wings. Pilots enjoy how peaceful and spacious the cockpit is. Because of these traits, it is the ideal military plane.

Dassault Alpha Jet

Did you know that Germany and France collaborated in the development of the Dassault/Dornier Alpha? Each of them had their own reasons for doing so. France planned to use it as a training aircraft, while Germany planned to use it for light assault sorties. The French version was known as Alpha Jet E, whereas the German version was known as Alpha Jet A; the French were ecstatic with its performance, while some commanders thought its handling was almost too forgiving. Transitioning to other planes became more difficult as a result. In the 1990s, however, German Alpha Jets began to be phased out. A considerable number of the planes were sold to private owners and other military groups. The Flying Bulls purchased four of these and use them in aerial displays.
