2 September 2004, on this day the last photo call was held at Naval Air Station Eggebek, northern Germany. The homebase of Marinefliegergeschwader 2 will close in the future and MFG 2 will be disbanded. The 2nd of September was also a tragical day for MFG 2, on this day the first two Tornados left their homebase and from that day these Tornados didn't belong to MFG 2 anymore. The beginning of the end. Every month, two aircraft will leave their homebase. In June 2005, the last Tornados will leave NAS Eggebek. Several types of aircraft were flown by the pilots of the 2nd Marinefliegergruppe, later renamad to Marinefliegergeschwader 2. They flew with the Fairy Gannet, Seahawk, Piaggio P.149D, Fouga Magister, F-104G Starfighter and since 1986 they fly with the Tornado. Last year, they were celebrating 45 years of MFG 2.
