This German Tornado carries special markings, likely from a squadron or era commemoration, and is preserved as a gate guardian or memorial near a Luftwaffe installation.

The '14+05' registration confirms this is a Luftwaffe VIP/government aircraft, often used to transport senior officials or emergency medical teams. The aircraft is specially equipped for these missions.

This aircraft is displayed with a variety of air-to-ground and air-to-air munitions, seen at a public event, with people accessing the cockpit and information placards identifying weapon systems.

This livery and the refitted airframe present a unique spotting opportunity, as most Tornados are fast being retired from service.
