With the reunification on 3 Oct. 1990 the German Air Force took possession not only of 24 MiG-29 modern fighter aircraft, but also of the human centrifuge at Koenigsbrueck near Dresden, Saxony. Until now the MiG-29 is the only high performance fighter aircraft of the German Air Force whose pilots need training in a human centrifuge in accordance with the STANAG 3827. The Office of the Surgeon General GAF took the occasion to generate a new basic program for the German Air Force (GAF) not only for the few pilots of the MiG-29, but for the future fighter pilot generation. The program includes the preselection of young pilot candidates on a voluntary basis to exclude candidates without normal physiological cardiovascular reflexes against acceleration forces, the training of student pilots of fighter aircraft before starting fighter pilot school, and the training and qualification program for fighter pilots, for flying the MiG-29 fighter aircraft or other high performance aircraft such as F-16, F-18, and Mirage 2000 as exchange pilots in the USAF, the CAF, or in France.
