US Air Force chief praises Eurofighter
21 July 2004
LAAGE - The chief of staff of the US Air Force, General John P.
Jumper, was quoted Wednesday as praising the Eurofighter Typhoon
after a test flight on the much-maligned jet, which has been in
service just 11 weeks with the German Air Force.
"I've flown all the air force jets. None was as good as the
Eurofighter," he said, according to an account by the German Air
Force of his Tuesday try-out of one of the two-seater jets based at
Laage Air Force Base near the Baltic coast city of Rostock.
The general praised the jet fighter for its agility,
manoeuvrability, acceleration and precise navigation.

Washington-based Jumper, who is the most senior US Air Force
officer, was in Germany as a guest during an exercise, Baltic Jump,
in which German aircraft and paratroops practised seizing an enemy
airfield so as to evacuate trapped civilians.
