Orland AB, Norway, NATO Tiger Meet 2013
The NATO Association of Tiger Squadrons was esablished in 1961 to promote solidarity between NATO air forces. Each year, it holds a "Tiger Meet" to give member nations an opportunity to train together in simulated battle over the skies of Europe. As well as being opportunities for NATO air forces to share ideas and experiences, the meets are also public relations exercises and participating squadrons often decorate their aircraft with elaborate tiger-striped paint schemes.
In 2012 JG 74 joined the NATO Tiger Meet Association and made their first appearance at the 2013 NTM held at Orland, Norway. The meet lasted from June 15 - 28 and since JG 74 had never taken part before they were there as observers to learn what takes places and what is expected of participants. EF2000 30+29 "Bavarian Tigers" was given a special paint scheme for the NTM to show they were going to be a valuable asset. EF2000 30+29 also made an appearance at the "Phantom Farewell" at Wittmund in mid 2013.
