Greetings! Just looking at Gary's excellent photos of the Red Flag Hind (& Kfir), & wondering who 'really' operates these adversary aircraft? Of course they're FOR the use of the military, but sometimes the demarcation between 'military' pilots, & civilian 'contractors' gets a little blurred! If they're USAF, which unit owns/flies them? Anyone know for sure? Thanks in anticipation,
Question for Chuck, or Peter (or anyone else who knows!)
If they're civvy, which company operates them??
And where do the (ex-Bulgarian?) Hinds stay when not flying around the Nellis ranges???
Cheers,
Bill T. (UK)
