Oman-India Air Force Exercises at Thumrait

The Omani and Indian Air Forces are conducting a bilateral exercise out of the Omani base at Thumrait in the south of the country. The focus of the exercise is anti-piracy operations and will include Omani F-16s and Jaguars, Indian Jaguars and an Indian IL-78 tanker. An Indian officer stated that his pilots would be training in low flying. Having seen an Omani pilot do some of the lowest flying imaginable when he came in for the break maneuver at an airbase in the country at less than 5 feet, I'd say the Indians are in for some competition on the low flying bit. They should remember, though, that the record for lowest maneuver can only be tied, not exceeded.

Love the blog name.

Leo Africanus is filled with many memorable quotes, and most of my favorites include how he portrays exile and homeland, but another of my favs is: "Seen from afar, a caravan looks like a procession; from close to, it is a village, with its stories, jokes, nicknames, intrigues, conflicts, reconciliations, nights of singing and poetry, a village for which all lands are far away, even the land one comes from, or the land one is crossing."

Check out my blog for news on the ME and particularly Oman as I am temporary based here now:
