The Operational Integration
Exercise was the main attraction as numerous aircraft participated.
Especially the French Navy and Air Force were heavily involved in
this exercise. With naval Rafales and Super Etendards together with
air defense Mirage 200C's, attack Mirage 2000D's and reconnaissance
Mirage F-CR's, they were the
larges contributors to the spottersday. This because they also had
send two Tucano and two Alpha Jet trainers to entertain the crowds
at Kleine Brogel.
::: Two old Greek A-7 Corsairs
took also part in the Combined Air Operations (COMAO). For sure a
rare sight as these aircraft are soon to be replaced by advanced
'Block 52' F-16C/D's. Add to this COMAO some German Tornados from
different units, a number of both Danish and Belgian F-16's and you
have got a impressive package of combat aircraft flying around!
Unfortunately a French Navy E-2 Hawkeye and a C-135F tanker could
not make it to Kleine Brogel on the spottersday.
