(IDF) PICVID: IAF And Hellenic Air Force Conduct Combined Exercise In Greece

"This week, a combined training of the IAF and the Hellenic Air Force took place in Greece. This training included flight and landing in mountainous terrain and under changing weather conditions. The IAF aircrafts that took part in the exercise were Black Hawk (UH-60) helicopters from the 'Hatzerim' Air Force base and Apache (AH-64) helicopters from the 'Ramon' Air Force base. The aircrafts trained alongside Hellenic Air Force helicopters (Apache AH-64 and AS332 Super Puma) and combat jets.

The head of the Helicopter Air Division, Brig. Gen. David Barki, and the commanders of 'Ramon' and 'Hatzerim' IAF bases visited the training squadrons yesterday, and participated in both the training and the joint conclusion of the exercise, which included chief representatives from the Hellenic Air Force."
