The Israeli Air Force is set to award flight wings this week to graduates of Flight Course 192, a three-year training program conducted entirely during the ongoing war. The IAF began pre-planned flight drills over the western Negev and Beersheba on Monday morning as part of preparations for the Wings Ceremony, the IDF said.
In a series of announcements starting at 07:02 Jerusalem on Monday, the IDF first reported the drills, then confirmed they were routine and not a security incident, and finally specified that they are part of the Wings Ceremony preparations for Course 192. The Zioneer reported at 07:02 Jerusalem that the drills are scheduled through Thursday.
The Zioneer previously reported on other wartime training milestones: the graduation of 30 Unit 669 rescue operators on June 24 and the induction of 34 Air Defense officers on June 17. Course 192 is notable for its three-year duration conducted entirely during the war, with the new pilots expected to join defensive and offensive operations.
The exact date of the ceremony within the week has not been announced, but the drills are scheduled through Thursday, suggesting the ceremony may occur before the end of the week.
