Doing air-to-ground assignments for reconnaissance and supporting exercises and training for units of the Ministry of Defense. The second assignment is air-to-air photography and video where briefings and directing large formations up to 13 aircrafts demands a great organization talent. “After all the preparations, directing aircrafts to their positions and making sure everybody knows what we are going to do up there. Making the picture at the end is like icing on the cake”.
