German Air Force FAQ
How many jets does German Air Force have?
Over the last 90 days we recorded 5 different jets under the ICAO callsign GAF, 5 of them also in the last 30 days. The actual fleet may be larger: jets out of receiver range, in maintenance or flying under a different callsign are not counted.
Where is German Air Force based?
According to the ICAO designator list published by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), German Air Force is registered in Germany. The list records the three-letter ICAO code, country and radio callsign of every operator.
What callsign does German Air Force use?
German Air Force flies under the ICAO callsign GAF; on the radio the crew identifies as "GERMAN AIR FORCE". On flight-tracking maps the callsign shows up as the code plus a flight number, e.g. GAF123 — that is how we attribute flights to the operator.
Which aircraft types does German Air Force fly?
The types we recorded most often under the German Air Force callsign over the last 90 days: Bombardier Global 6000/6500 (3 jets) and Bombardier Global 5000/5500 (2 jets).

How much CO₂ does the German Air Force fleet emit?
In the last 30 days the recorded flights emitted an estimated 760 t of CO₂ over 151.4 flight hours; year to date it is 760 t from 128 flights. The estimate multiplies the typical fuel burn of the aircraft class by flight time and 3.16 kg of CO₂ per kg of jet fuel.
How can I track German Air Force live?

Fly the same jet type as an empty leg
Challenger, Citation or Gulfstream: when jets reposition without passengers, operators often sell the seats at a steep discount.
Data sources & notes
Data source: public ADS-B data
All positions come from publicly broadcast ADS-B signals that every aircraft transmits unencrypted and that volunteers around the world receive. Data may be delayed, incomplete or inaccurate.
Linking an aircraft to a well-known person is based on public sources such as media reports and registry data. "Jet attributed to X" explicitly does not mean that this person is on board or ordered the flight — aircraft are also chartered, sold or used by others.
All information is provided without warranty; no liability is accepted for accuracy or completeness. CO₂ figures are estimates based on typical fuel burn for the aircraft class.
Using this data to harass, track or stalk people is prohibited.
