German MiG-29´s

Hi Folks,

a few minutes ago, I heard a message in the tv-news:

All german MiG-29´s (-23- aircraft´s today) are grounded!
The reason is:
-> Not enough money for spare sparts (?!)

I can´t believe it, especially the german 29-pilots
are a great training possibility for our nato-partners!
And now it is over???

I hope we will change this situation in the near future.

(Normally it was planned to retire the MiG-29 in 2003
by EF 2000).

Regards

Kittel
