NATO Tiger Meet 2019 was attended by several special-colored aircraft. Here are some of those we have shot during the Spotter Day.
NATO Tiger Meet (NTM) does not need introductions. Most (if not all) of our readers already know it is an annual, multinational, two-week mid-size exercise attended by squadrons sporting Tiger (or feline) emblems. NTM is not an air show: the drills include all types of air-to-air and air-to-ground and a wide variety of support missions, comprising large COMAOs (Composite Air Operations). However, the most known feature of NATO Tiger Meet is that many aircraft from almost all units taking part in the exercise, are painted in rather flamboyant tiger color schemes.
This year’s NTM was hosted by EC 3/30 of the French Air Force at BA 118 Mont-de-Marsan, France, between May 13 and May 24.
On May 17, our photographer Alessandro Fucito attended the Spotter Day to take the shots that you can find in this post.
