The NATO Association of Tiger Squadrons was esablished in 1961 to promote solidarity between NATO air forces. Each year, it holds a "Tiger Meet" to give member nations an opportunity to train together in simulated battle over the skies of Europe. As well as being opportunities for NATO air forces to share ideas and experiences, the meets are also public relations exercises and participating squadrons often decorate their aircraft with elaborate tiger-striped paint schemes.
Desgined to meet a French Army requirement for a lightweight utililty helicopter, the Gazelle was first flown on April 7th, 1967. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
