Meitar is used to hearing the deafening sound of Air Force jets overhead many times a day.
But these two fighter jets were so high I didn't even hear them.
I think they were part of the joint IDF-Hellenic Air Force drill week that took place down here in the Negev (Israel's southern desert).
This article says the Greek and Israeli squadrons "practiced different complex air-to-air scenarios, with a combination of aerial refueling, protecting strategic assets and dealing with unexpected threats in the sky in order to learn from one another."
Bonus: a sharp close-up of one of our F-16s taking off during the joint exercise.

Quite a remarkable shot. It's both a good way to sharpen skills and get to know other pilots.

That's very interesting! The only time I saw (and photographed) some F-15 was on a Yom Ha'atzmaut fly-over near the Knesset...
ReplyDeleteIt's good to work together.
