Everyone knows where they are. They appear on commercial satellite imagery, their runways are surveyed to the centimetre, and a country that wanted to take them out would not have to guess. Ukraine has spent three years demonstrating, in both directions, what happens to parked aircraft at a known address.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The answer NATO has settled on is not to build more bunkers. It is to stop being in one place. Agile Combat Employment means a squadron that can operate for days at a time from somewhere it does not live: a civilian airport, a stretch of motorway, a regional field with one runway and a fuel truck. If the enemy has to find you first, the missile inventory required to ground your air force stops being affordable.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/09\/nuremberg-airport-aerial-view-runway-apron.jpg\" alt=\"Aerial view of Nuremberg Airport showing its single runway, apron and terminal surrounded by forest and suburbs\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">Nuremberg Albrecht Durer Airport from the air.

A Typhoon needs far less runway than an Airbus A320. The hard part is everything behind it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>A fighter detachment needs fuel of the right specification and a way to get it into the aircraft on an apron designed for airliners. It needs weapons handling, or at least somewhere secure to put ordnance. It needs ground power, nitrogen, oxygen, spares, and the people who use them. It needs communications that connect back to the air defence system. And it needs force protection, because four fighters sitting on a civilian apron are worth guarding. The Luftwaffe lists protection of the deployed force explicitly as part of the Nuremberg training.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Then there is the airport itself. Nuremberg is providing runways, aprons and taxiways as they already exist, with no structural modification. Civil flights keep running. Anyone who has watched an airport handle a single diverted aircraft can imagine what four fighters flying military profiles does to a departure sequence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #1565c0;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7;display:flex;gap:20px;align-items:flex-start\"><div><em>&ldquo;I landed here in Lubeck in a Eurofighter a few minutes ago, at a civilian airport in the middle of a German city. That is exactly the heart of this exercise.&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>Oberst Dominique Gentzsch<\/strong> &mdash; Commodore, Taktisches Luftwaffengeschwader 73, on landing at Lubeck during the April iteration of the exercise<\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Gentzsch also described civil-military cooperation as no longer a slogan but a lived reality. It is the sort of line a colonel is expected to produce at a press event. It is also, in this case, a fairly precise description of what is being rehearsed: not a combat capability so much as an administrative one. Can a German airport operator, a fighter wing and an air traffic control organisation share a runway for a working week without anyone filing a complaint?<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Why Germany is doing this now<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>The Lubeck iteration in April used five Eurofighters from TaktLwG 73 at Laage. Nuremberg in October uses four from Neuburg. The pattern is the point: not one showcase deployment, but a repeated routine at different civilian fields with different wings, until operating away from home stops being an event.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>For anyone in Nuremberg in the first week of October, it also means something simpler. Four Eurofighters, taking off and landing over a Bavarian city, between the holiday departures. Bring a camera, and allow extra time for check-in.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hICMFmxgMiU\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:-10px;font-style:italic\">The April run of the same exercise at Lubeck-Blankensee, where five Eurofighters operated alongside Ryanair departures.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Sources: Bundeswehr; aeroTELEGRAPH; Park Sleep Fly; Nuremberg Airport.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<style>.mfq{margin:34px 0 8px}.mfq h2{font:26px\/1.3 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117;padding-top:22px;margin:0 0 6px}.mfq .qa details{border-top:1px solid #5C91FF;margin:0;padding:0}.mfq .qa details:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e2e7ee}.mfq .qa summary{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:16px;padding:22px 26px;font:18px\/1.7 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117}.mfq .qa summary::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.mfq .qa summary::after{content:\"+\";font:24px Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#3568e0;flex:0 0 auto}.mfq .qa details[open] summary::after{content:\"\\2013\"}.mfq .qa details:hover summary{color:#3568e0}.mfq .qa .a{font:16px\/1.7 \"Gilroy regular\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#454e5e;padding:0 26px 24px}.mfq .qa .a a{color:#3568e0}@media(max-width:680px){.mfq .qa summary{padding:18px 14px;font-size:17px}.mfq .qa .a{padding:0 14px 20px}}<\/style>\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"mfq\"><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><div class=\"qa\"><details open><summary>When are Eurofighters operating from Nuremberg Airport?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">From 5 to 9 October 2026.
