Before we deliver the first Jets to Poland end of this month, we wrote
history again with our MiGs .
We went to our training area in Sardinia, Decimomannu, where the
Luftwaffe practices for many years. This time, we had not only the
Fighter Wing 71"Richthofen" from Wittmund as training partners but for
the first time also F-15 fighter planes of the Israeli Air Force. For the
Israeli Air Force it was likewise in various regard a premiere: the first
exercise in Europe, with Luftwaffe and to this extent.
The enterprise began very friendly and calm and the flying business
something scanning and reservedly. However already after the first flights
it became clear, how similar our procedures and tactics were. So very
quickly a good work climate was given and both sides learned am lot of each
other. Without only the breath of irritations we exchanged on flying over 2
weeks and regret that this was
first and the last enterprise of this kind!
