ROLLING
OVER BASE AND TAXIWAYS |
|
The
exercise is prepared in conferences in previous months, a realistic
schedule in the pre phase |
|
The
operational base-lines were set out by 31 squadron this year |
|
Main
objectives: Cooperation between NATO airforces, better understanding of
procedures... |
|
|
|
...
and developing unit interoperability, first laid down by general lee in
1962. |
|
The
exercise is conducted in daytime due to restrictions but actually what can
be done at day... |
|
...
can also be done in nighttime. Vital, while air warfare shifted to nightly
hours. |
|
The
participants are split in 'Blue forces'and 'Red forces'and briefed
seperately. |
|
Aircraft
fly 2v2 and 4v4 engagements, also small operations called 'Shadow waves'. |
|
All
different concepts pass the scene: COMAO, CAS, SEAD, AWACS & CSAR. |
|
The
advantage of many players in the field is to set up a very realistic
scenario... |
|
|
|
...
in between actions 'behind enemy lines' were executed by helicopters. |
|
There
were also German and French SAM batteries, Crotale missiles (simulated
here and there) |
|
Operational
theatre: South of Belgium, Northern France, North Sea west of The
Netherlands |
|
Crews
are partly experienced and partly new so others can be attached to the
concept |
|
New
countries applying for the membership must prove to be worth as a
probationary member |
|
After
two years practicimg with rules of engagement full membership can be
achieved |
|

Trend
2009: Tone down grey tiger looks, while a grey aircraft can be operational
any time... |
|
...
the belgian Air Component obtained this as a ragulation for further
operational use... |
|
...
and so it was done by many countries like this Spanish Dassault Mirage F-1 |

Fine
color sceme: F-104G Starfighter. The Swiss has no tiger colors, his name
