JBG 77 & MFG 28 in Laage Kronskamp 'Susis' by Falk Boehm

 

by Falk Boehm

".. These five 'Susis' left a lasting impression on me during my time in Laage. I was with the 1st MFS from the very beginning (December 2, 1985), initially as a technician. In early January, the '769' was my first “Susi” assigned to flight duty (lead technician: Zitzmann), and after that immediately took over the '111' as a technician, which I then worked on for more than a year alongside Petty Officer Bortmann. I learned a great deal from him.

With the introduction of the new aircraft—the 734, 724, 728, and 798—our third technical chain was established. I led it as KT from the beginning until the end of 1990; it consisted of the 727, 734, 741, and 743 in bays 71–74. I spent another year in the Air Force, and on October 31, 1991, it was finally over. I’ll always have fond memories of that time.. "
