The following exclusive image was taken by The Aviationist’s photographer Tony Lovelock during a flight on the Colombian B-767 from Nellis Air Force Base. It shows two Colombian Air Force Kfirs joining the tanker left wing during a Red Flag 12-4 sortie.
Many more images about the last Red Flag and, in particular, about the Colombian Air Force detachment at Nellis will be published in the next days.
Stay tuned.
