To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Federal German Armed Forces in 2006, an Atlantic with an unusual special livery in the German colours was with MFG 3 Nordholz. For over 30 years the Breguet Atlantic weapons platform has been in the front line of maritime patrols. This 12-seat sea reconnaissance plane offers an outstanding range (7,970 km) and a long period of time in the target area. It is used for a variety of duties, such as anti-ship warfare, reconnaissance, SAR duties and supply flights, but it was designed primarily for anti-submarine defence. The Atlantic was also the first military aircraft to be made from design to production as a multi-national project. Following the maiden flight on 21st October 1961 the first machines were delivered to France and Germany in December 1965. The French naval air force received 40 machines split between 3 squadrons, whereas the 20 German Atlantics were used at MFG 3 Nordholz. The Dutch naval air force used 9 Atlantics with 321 Squadron. For anti-submarine defence the Atlantic is equipped with American avionics whereas the Thomson-CFS track-while-scan radar is supplied in France. With a total flying time of about 18 hours the Atlantic can patrol a very wide sea area and attack enemy targets with torpedoes located in a weapons bay beneath the fuselage.
