That "more than I can eat at home" line is amazing! The mayor of my city recently got caught out about an extra-marital affair he had in the past... but I can't imagine him ever using that line -

AdminI hadn't heard of the Scorpion so I did a quick search, that's certainly an interesting idea behind its creation... even if it does look like it's from a B grade 90's action movie!

10 years agoMain AdminThe German Air Force has today taken delivery of the 400th aircraft during special ceremony at Cassidian?s Military Air Systems Center in Manching, Southern Germany. It was built by the Eurofighter consortium, which includes us.
Demonstrating high operational effectiveness
In the past 10 years the global Eurofighter Typhoon fleet has demonstrated its high operational effectiveness in international missions and trainings and accumulated more than 210,000 flying hours. Several developments such as the Phase 1 Enhancement, the integration of the METEOR air-to-air missile, the new electronic radar (E-Scan) and additional weaponry increase the capabilities of the Eurofighter Typhoon and secure the future of this modern combat aircraft in the next decades.
In the hundreds
The delivery of the very first Eurofighter Typhoon to the Royal Air Force in the United Kingdom took place end of 2003. The 100th Eurofighter was delivered also to the Royal Air Force in September 2006. The 200th aircraft was handed over in November 2009 to the German Air Force. The 300th aircraft was delivered to the Spanish Air Force in November 2011.
In attendance
At the ceremony, the State Secretary of the German Ministry of Defence, Christian Schmidt, received the aircraft with the markings ?31+06?. The event was witnessed by several high ranking representatives from politics and industry including: the Bavarian Minister for Economic Affairs, Media, Energy and Technology, Ilse Aigner; the Chief Executive Officer of Cassidian, Bernhard Gerwert, and representatives from the British, Spanish and Italian Eurofighter Partner companies.
A historic milestone
Alberto Gutierrez, Chief Executive Officer of Eurofighter Jagdflugzeug GmbH, said: ?The delivery of the 400th Eurofighter Typhoon marks a historic milestone in Europe?s largest defence programme. Now we must focus much more strongly on export campaigns in order to win new contracts and new customers for this outstanding aircraft. Right now, especially in these difficult times in the defence industry, it is more important than ever that we stand up and be counted. That is what today is all about.?
A reliable backbone of many Air Forces
The General Manager of NATO Eurofighter and Tornado Management Agency (NETMA), Jesus Pinillos, added: "Eurofighter Typhoon secures the airspace of six nations 24 hours a day, seven days a week even under extreme arctic weather conditions on the Falkland Islands. The aircraft has proven itself as a reliable backbone of the Air Forces in Germany, Italy, Spain, and in the UK as well as in Austria and Saudi Arabia. The reliability of the Eurofighter Typhoon in its global missions has surpassed expectations."
