[Nato Tiger]

On the weekend of 1 and 2 October 2022, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Directorate of Defense invites all those interested to discover the Luxembourg air component during the Luxembourg Defense Open Air Days, at Luxembourg-Findel airport. Over the past few years, Luxembourg Defense has substantially developed its capabilities in the fields of air transport and aerial surveillance. Today, Luxembourg has, through national and multinational programs, several aircraft intended to carry out missions in these fields. With the support of the Luxembourg army as well as national and international partners, the Directorate of Defense will exhibit these aircraft to the general public

As expected a very small event. Present in the pouring rain were:

LX-FAB H.145M no mks, c/n 20294
CT01 A.400M 15 W, c/n 104
T-057 A.330MRTT MMU

The other H.145 (LX-FAA) was inside the Luxembourg Air Ambulance hangar at the other side of the airport and not available for viewing unfortunately. The Beech is the contribution of Luxembourg to operation IRINI, the EU mission controlling the weapons embargo against Libya.
