Background story Like the name of the comouflage "Norm 95" expresses, was it in 1995 introduced to the german Tornados. In its origins the Tornado was built for lowest level high speed terrain following missions in a central Europe scenario and for that the dark green and black camouflage expressed in Norm 83B/C was an optimized colour scheme. But with the upcoming support for the combat missions in the former jugoslvia a totally new mission profile was developing which urged the crews to fly in medium to high altitude szenarios. Because of that, selected Tornado jets were repainted beginning with those from ECR Wing 32 in Lechfeld and RECCE wing 51 in Schleswig which provided the aircraft for CW (Combat Wing) 1 in Piacenza, Italy. Out of this measure the new Norm 95 camouflage was introduced to the german Luftwaffe.Since June 2010 when the last one left for Büchel airbase, home of FBW 33, there are no more Tornados at FBW 31. FBW 31 has converted to the new Eurofighter.
