    from a press article at the time: "Like a fireball in the sky," is how an eyewitness described the collision between two Bundeswehr Tornados over Garding in Schleswig-Holstein. The two jet fighters were flying one behind the other and then the jets touched. Two soldiers died in the accident, two pilots were saved by ejection.

    It was a training flight together with a third jet that was not involved in the accident.

    A small, quiet space that invites you to linger and reflect. Surrounded by greenery, it commemorates the two pilots and comrades from Reconnaissance Squadron 51 who died in the 2004 crash.
