Comments:
Five tankers were planned to participate in the fifth edition of EART
however the Italian Air Force 14° Stormo cancelled its participation
just before the exercise. EART 2018 was further impacted by the both the
French Air Force and the United States Air Forces in Europe & Air Forces
Africa withdrawal from the exercise. The C-135FR completed the first
EART mission before returning home during the afternoon on Monday April
9. On Wednesday the 351st ARS KC-135R departed Eindhoven around noon
without having flown a single mission (reported unserviceable from the
start of the exercise).
