Thursday August 31st 2006, Dijon's 102 airbase fighter squadron 2/2 "Côte d'Or" has joined Grosseto (Italy) for a combined air defence exercise.
All day long, several flights with "2 versus 2" formations opposed the French Mirage 2000-5s to the Italian Eurofighters above the Mediterranean Sea, between Corsica and Italy.
Within the framework of "Eurofight" agreements, French and Italian crews meet regularly. It is each time the occasion to harmonize their methods and work procedures.
