It went through a series of restructurations using LanceR's and Soim trainers and Puma helicopters in the past years..
In 2012 the LanceRs left the base and since then only some Soim trainers and Puma helicopters remained and are still flying.
The F-16's will be dispatched at Borcea AB

Found some nice I.A.R.99 Soim pictures

As bad as it looks, I bet the Flugwerk guys would wish to have a time machine and go there to grab the 801s at least
What a waste of lifes...

The upper image is at least close to reality.
Even though the West German Luftwaffe never used the MiG-21 in operational service, still in 1990 all airworthy MiG-21 were handed over to them and received registration numbers accordingly.
What they didn't ever receive were insignia, concerning this aspect your image is even quite historical.
The paintscheme is non-historical though (it represents the scheme 81 used by NATO) and of course the fictional conversion to AN/APQ-159 radar and RB-199 engine as well.
24+17 is unknown to the books, the "sister" airplane 24+18 is on display in it's original NVA paintscheme at Rothenburg Museum:

838, Mikoyan-Guryevich MiG-21bisSAU Fishbed-N, preserved/Museum, ex. 2418, LSK 838, c/n N75051378, Rothenburg, 12/5/2002
