It served the unit up to Oct'05 when it was transferred to the Luftwaffe with AG51. It was first noted with JBG33 in early 2008. Soon after it was deployed to Holloman AFB (NM) to serve the German traning unit German Air Force Tactical Traning Command (GAFFTC). It returned to JBG33 in mid-'12. Up to the date of the photo, the Tornado never left that squadron (redesignated to TLG33) anymore. It was deployed to the Middle East in 2019/2020.
