Eurofighter in service with Germany's Luftwaffe

Part 5: Individual aircraft list



Listed below are all Eurofighters built for Germany. A few notes: when the aircraft is still in operational flying service, just a remark 'active' is made, omitting the actual unit that is currently operating that particular aircraft. For aircraft no longer flying, some more details are given. Regarding the delivery dates: mentioned here is the date that the aircraft is actually flown from Manching towards its first unit. The actual hand-over from the manufacturer to the Bundeswehr generally takes place some days prior to that.

Wherever possible, an image is linked to an aircraft registration. Some are still missing; if you might have one available and willing to use it here, please send me a message!
