Youngest officers train to fly “Eagles“
In addition to performing training flights, the youngest SAF officers are currently training to fly the J-22 Eagle fighter-bomber at the Morava airport in Lađevci.
The training is intended for second lieutenants who are assigned to the 98th Air Brigade after graduating from the Military Academy and successfully completing the flight training on Lasta and Supergaleb G-4 aircraft. In the first training phase, they did ground training, which included mechanical training and training on the flight simulator, so they were fully prepared to start the retraining process.
Pilots are now being trained in basic, acrobatic and navigation flying, followed by solo flights, air combat and group flight training, so that they can provide air fire support to ground forces and engage ground targets.When these pilots compete their training, the 98th Air Brigade will get a new generation of young pilots fully trained to perform combat tasks on this type of aircraft.
