It is the second time that such an exercise is conducted between the two countries but the first involving CSAR operations.

Love the super heavy external fuel loadouts the Israeli AH-64s have.  You can really tell who the "away" and "homes" teams are there in that video for sure.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

The youtube video has some good footage too, also a nice shot of the phantoms parked on the tarmac from outside the door of one of the UHs comming in for a landing.

Lots of Phantoms still in service as Wild Weasels. Big radar signature with no stealth technology.  Radar turns on...anti-radar missles come down...bye-bye bad guy radar.
