In their first-ever joint exercise in Germany, Israeli and German fighter jets today paid tribute to the victims of the 1972 Munich Olympics attack and those killed during the Holocaust.
On Monday, an Israeli fleet of six F-16s, two Gulfstreams and two Boeing 707 air-to-air tankers arrived at Norvenich air base near Cologne for two weeks of military exercises with their Luftwaffe counterparts. Due to the coronavirus, the training mission involving some 180 Israeli personnel will be the Israeli air force’s only mission conducted abroad this year.
