Collective Air-to-Air Refuelling Clearance Trial
The European Defence Agency, Italy and the Movement Coordination Centre Europe (MCCE) jointly organise the first collective European Air-to-Air Refuelling (AAR) clearance trial on the Italian KC767. Starting on 5 September, aircraft from France (one Mirage 2000, one Rafale) and Sweden (three Gripen) participate in the campaign to obtain technical and operational AAR clearances against the Italian strategic airlift tanker.
Taking place in Italy at Decimomannu airbase from 5 to 12 September, France and Sweden will be able to perform the necessary ground and in-flight tests to obtain missing AAR clearances.
