F.Visser, L.Mennes - On Target - With German Learjets /Military/
Two GFD Gates Learjets D-CGFB (Learjet 35A) and D-CGFE (Learjet 36A)are seen over Germany after completing a GCI mission, hence their ’clean’ configuration.
Learjet 35A D-CGFG equipped with an MTR-101 winch under the starboard wing and a sleeve target under the port wing.
Engineers working on the engine of one of GFD's two Learjet 36As, D-CGFF, in the maintenance hangar at Hohn.
Target towing is GFD's primary task, and technicians are seen here preparing an MTR-101 winch.
GFD's entire fleet of nine Learjet 35As and two 36As. Note the Westinghouse AN/ALQ-119GY jamming pod, used for electronic warfare training, mounted under the wing of D-CGFA.
This is one of 24 Fiat G.91s that were operated by the GFD's predecessor - Condor Flugdienst - from 1974 until 1992. It was photographed on the ramp at Hohn Air Base in 1988.
