Keywords: eglin air force base eglinairforcebase florica united states unitedstates outdoor This MiG-29 being flown by Lieutenant Colonel Tom Hahn, squadron commander of Germany's Fighter Wing 73 "Steinhoff", flies over the Gulf of Mexico during a training exercise. Once an adversary for American fighter pilots, they now fly as part of NATO and train alongside American units. These German MiGs are deployed to Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, and are being hosted the Eglin's 53rd Wing during various training missions. Unlike previous visits to the U.S. for training, this deployment will provide the Germans the opportunity to fly live-fire missions against both full-scale QF-4 drones and sub-scale drones. This MiG boasts a particularly colorful paint scheme for their "Farewell USA" tour. The Germans are transitioning to the new Eurofighter and this will be the last trip for the MiGs to the U.S. The right side of the MiG is colored in German black, red, and yellow while the left side of the fighter is colored in American red, white and blue.
