Hobby Master 1:72 Eurofighter EF2000 "Pacific Skies" 30+56, TaktLwG 73, 2024

Exercise Pacific Skies 2024 was a historic multinational air training deployment led by the German, French and Spanish air forces to demonstrate operational reach and strengthen cooperation in the Indo Pacific region. From 27 June to 15 August 2024, more than 1,800 personnel and about 40 Airbus aircraft including Eurofighters, Tornados, A400Ms and A330 MRTTs operated across four continents.

On 27 July 2024, three Luftwaffe Eurofighter EF2000s, serials 30+56, 30+57, and 30+90, set a record for flight time by a fighter by flying from Japan to Hawaii in 10 hours 31 minutes. The aircraft had previously taken part in Nippon Skies 24 in Japan.

Eurofighter EF-2000 Typhoon S

Designed as part of a co-operative effort by Germany, Italy and the UK to produce an air superiority fighter, the Eurofighter was first flown on March 27th, 1994. The Eurofighter is a single-seat, twin-engine, agile combat aircraft used in air-to-air, air-to-ground and tactical reconnaissance roles. It is intentionally aerodynamically unstable, which gives it its high levels of agility-but this means the Typhoon is controlled by a computerized "fly by wire" system instead of by its pilot. The Eurofighter's first rate performance is matched by excellent all round vision and by sophisticated attack, identification and defense systems and stealth technology.
