Wittmund Air Base JG.71 'Richthofen' & Spottersday
Situated in Northern Germany, Wittmund is home to Jagdeschwader 71 'Richthofen' and has flown the once ubiquitous McDonnell F-4F Phantom since 1974. Mark Kwiatkowski visited the last remaining McDonnell F-4 Phantom unit in the German Luftwaffe for AeroResource to see how the 'Rhino' was fairing in its last few months of service.
