TonyT Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) Ahh the mighty Starfighter, Germanys first jet post war I believe.. They used to say in RAF Germany if you want to own a Starfighter buy a patch of land and sooner or later one will plow into it. Excellent review.

thierry laurent Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I think the first German postwar jet was the Sabre. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Maas Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I think the first German postwar jet was the Sabre. F-84 actually, arrived in 56 and became operational in 57. The Sabre's didn't arrive until a couple years later. The confusion is likely because JaBoG 31 was the first jet wing and also the first F-104G wing a few years later, the F-84's didn't last long, and because JG 71 was the first Jet fighter wing when it stood up on Sabre 6's in 59 (JaBoG 31 is a strike wing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Airfixer Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) A T-33A (AB+101/54-1560) was the very first jet aircraft to display (non-standard) Bundesluftwaffe markings in September 1956: Edited March 15, 2018 by Airfixer LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
