German EF 2000's 11/05

[np1991]

The last few days they've been going late afternoon/evening, up for an hour and a half. Might be a bit earlier tomorrow with it being a Friday

1145z for 0130 planned for today.

I still get this mixed up even after working with it for years 1145Z is 1245Local?

Did the Luftwaffe EF2000's (to give them their correct title) fly today. If so what times and flight durations.

Thanks

They're still Typhoons.. Their local designation's are EF2000S and EF2000T.. Just like Spanish Typhoons are called C-16's and T-21's but they are still Typhoons hence why on the tail of IPA3 98+03 is 'Eurofighter Typhoon'
It's a bit like saying F-15I's are not Strike Eagles..

The Luftwaffe, Aeronautica Militare Italiana and I think Austria officially do not recognise the name "Typhoon" they refer to the a/c as EF2000. The reason "Typhoon" is on the fin of 98+03 is for marketing purposes, although on the Military register it is a development a/c owned and operated by EADS at Manching/Ingolstadt the same as the BAE ones at Warton.

The F15I may be from the "Eagle" line, but it certainly isn't a Strike Eagle.

Did the Germans fly today?

All three left Kinloss for home today with the 2x single seat jets doing a rather spirited take offs and flyby!

Hello Macc, any idea which one left on its own at 1230 after the Nimrod flypast? It was one of the 30+ and appeared to be in special marks - or could it have been a fourth as there have been no support flights AFAIK.
