Tiger Baby Info |
|
On 12-04-2008, after Tigerbaby accompanied Matthias' "Extra 330" rollout and firstflight in Tannheim, near Memmingen, Bavaria, it was handed over to Matt Hall, an Aussi Airforce F-18 Pilot and acro specialist who took it with him to "Down Under".
Here, Tigerbaby encounters one exciting flying adventure after the other. Of course does he accompany Matt and his squadron mates on many diversative F-18 missions over sea and over land. He enjoys it a lot during the short combat free times to look downwards (actually upwards) onto the left-lane traffic ;-)) Breathtaking also his flights on exotic and spectacular aircraft types like the "Tigermoth" and the "Mustang". The landscape is a hit but a little bit misses Baby the snow covered mountain tops and dark green meadows and forrests of a "springtime Bavaria".
After those truely exhausting days (man, what a slang) Tigerbaby enjoys the friendship and care of Matt's little boy.

Tiger Baby is back from Overberg, South Afrika, where he participated together with the FBW 32 jets in the exercise 'Good Hope 2008'. HARRY our designated top-tiger-tamer documented the whole journey and the exercise in a web blog which he had set up prior departure. Read this most interresting story (in German language only) and please, if you understand a bit, add a comment to it!

Rollout and maiden flight of our new tigerjet 46+48
Today 27-09-2007, flown by our young-tigers SMASH and SLIDER, 321 Tiger's new 2007 tigerjet took off for his maiden flight, which will bring him to this year's Tiger Meet in Norway. With them aboard, our Baby Tiger. At exactly 0800 Zulu (10:00 o'clock local) he took to the air and disappeared after a very short while into the dark and very low hanging clouds overhead the Lechfeld. He is accompanied by two other ECR jets, the 46+49 and 46+44 which went airborne a few minutes later. After a stopover at GAF base Wittmund in Northern Germany, they will be expected around 1400 Zulu (16:00 o'clock local) at Ørland in Northern Norway. More pictures of the tigerjet will follow in a short while!
Stopover at sunny Wittmund ETNT (many thanks Thomas Land):

| 321 Tigers Schedule for 2007. |
|

|
At some of these events
you can talk to us, buy sometimes patches, stickers and other stuff
or just look at us. Because this is always a display and presentation
of our wing, we cannot guarantee that we bring our tiger-airplane
or that the displaying crew is coming out of our squadron (except
for tiger meets of course). Although when a participation is planned,
there is always the possibility given that - for some reason - we
will not show up (weather, technical problems, politics....). |
