Aircraft is seen here as instructional airframe with tail from F-104G cn9043. It arrived at the TSLw1 school at Kaufbeuren in April 1961 with only 37 flying hours. Never flew again afterwards. It stayed at the school until 2005. Then after restoration at Erding it returned back to Kaufbeuren in 2006 (on loan from Luftwaffe museum Berlin). Picture was taken by Michael Riedesser, slide is part of my private collection.

From the EFA (Ecole Franco Allemande), in charge of training the Tiger crews for both nations.

Although often called a HC-130J, the aircraft is actually marked C-130J in front of its horizontal stabilizer.

This aircraft has only flown 37 hours in its entire life. It soon became an instructional airframe at TSLw1 Kaufbeuren, first as "BF+101" and later "20+06". In 2005 it was withdrawn from use and later became a preserved aircraft at the Kaufbeuren training headquarters from around 2010. It carries the tail section from F-104G 25+79.

As a result of operational experience in Afghanistan, sand filters were bolted on the Tiger's air intakes.
