"Vikings" over flying the island of Helgoland In the late 1970 the German navy decided to establish a two-ship flight demonstration team to display the navy's primary weapon system the F-104G Starfighter and its outstanding abilities. The Jagel based MFG 1 was first to attend Airshows, while MFG 2 followed soon after. Both air wings displays cheered the crowds with their stunning displays home and abroad. Naval air demonstration came to a sudden end, when Kapitänleutnant Manfred Stürmer of MFG 1 crashed on approach to Yeovilton/GB on August 3, 1979. copyright © Axel Ostermann
