This exercise was designed to encourage the sharing and development of air combat TTPs [tactics, techniques and procedures] with our French and U.K. partners, against a range of potential threats leveraging U.S. Air Force fifth-generation capabilities,” said U.S. Air Force Col. Peter Fesler, 1st Fighter Wing commander.
“This is not only an opportunity to share the capabilities of the aircraft, pilots and maintainers between our nations, but to build friendship, trust and confidence that will improve our interoperability as we go forward.”
While various exercises are held with allied and partner nations throughout the world, this exercise is one of the first to focus on greater integration of U.S. Air Force’s fifth-generation capabilities. – Joint Base Langley-Eustis
Joint Base Langley-Eustis held an exercise in 2015 that also included the Royal Air Force, French Air Force and the US Air Force F-22 Raptor but 2017 will be special with the addition of the F-35 Lightning II. Sounds like a good time!
