EART 2014

For the first time the European Air Refueling Training 2014 was held at Eindhoven Air Base.
During the excersies Eindhoven Air Base is a Tanker Forward Operating Base which means that the tankers will fly from here. The reason why this is organized is to train pilots and personal for possible future conflicts in which tankers play a big part.
EART 2014 was scheduled during Frisian Flag at Leeuwarden Air Base to provide air refueling for the fighters. The tanker pilots could therefore find themselves in a mission where they could be the target.

For this excersies the following country`s participated

German Air Force with 1 A-310-404 MRTT from FBS BMVg
Italian Air Force with 1 KC-767A from 14 Stormo
Dutch Air Force with 1 KDC-10 from 334 Sqaudron
