This use is carried out in the context of a regular review and demonstration of the operational readiness of the Air Force.

The tornados, known for their versatile possible uses, can be used both on the hunting and the reconnaissance mission. These aircraft play a central role in the air defense of Germany and NATO partners. Their visibility over urban areas such as Bonn often leads to concerned citizens' inquiries, but these are usually part of the normal training flights.

The maneuvers carried out include, among other things, overflowing at different altitudes, the technical tests of devices and coordination with other aircraft. These exercises are part of the preparatory training for missions, both nationally and in the context of international obligations that arise from NATO.
