Israeli, Jordanian jets ‘flew together in US drill’

Israeli and Jordanian warplanes both participated in a drill in the United States in July, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon says, as an American official indicates that the two air forces even carried out joint maneuvers.

According to Reuters, a US official says not only did Jordan take part in the Red Flag drill, it also sent warplanes out with IAF jets and refueled from an Israeli tanker over the Atlantic Ocean.

Referring to the exercise, Ya’alon says that “there were Arab pilots there too, and pilots from the various branches of the United States military and other countries.”
