Airmen recently conducted a simulated basic fighting maneuvers exercise at ramsteinairbaseofficial, where pilots and maintainers from nine NATO countries came together to sharpen shared tactics and identify training deficiencies. The exercise focused on learning and improving skills - with a touch of friendly rivalry: Pilots were pitted against one another in simulated dogfights. The event ended with a somber tradition from World War II, where a piano was burnt in memory of fallen fighter pilots. The tradition highlights the camaraderie and respect among all participants. . . . 📷 + 📝 SrA Christian Conrad . . . #airman #airmen #airforce #usaf #military #aviation #aerialcombat #NATO #fightercommunity #trainingexercise
