Air-to-Air Shots of the Saudi Special Colored Aircraft during the 88th National Day Celebrations

On September 23^rd, 2018, Saudi Arabia celebrated their 88^th Saudi National Day with their specially colored five aircraft. The names of the aircraft are as follows.

• F-15C of the 13^th Squadron
• F-15S of the 92^nd Squadron
• One Tornado jet from 7th Squadron
• One Eurofighter Typhoon from 10^th Squadron
• One multi-role tanker transport; A330 MRTT of the 24^th Squadron

These five Green colored aircrafts performed flyovers over the three cities of Jeddah, Riyadh, and Dhahran alongside the Saudi Hawks display team.

The pictures of this amazing flyover portray a green colored MRTT which is one of the only 6 MRTT in service by RSAF, refuels the four fast jets mid-flight even though all of the other jets have different IFR (In-Flight refueling) systems. The reason for MRTT to perform the in-flight refueling is its ARBS (Advanced Air Refueling Boom System) that can easily refuel F-15s and Saudi Tornado and Eurofighter Typhoon jets.

Some of the special pictures of this flyover are as follows.
