In october 2005 the Austrian Air Force organised the last mass formation flight of its Saab J35OE Drakens before fleet retirement at the end of the same year. While awaiting delivery of the first Eurofighter EF2000 Typhoons, the Drakens are currently replaced 'ad interim' by short-term leased Northrop F-5E Tigers from neighbouring Swiss Air Force.
