00:01.270 --> 00:02.390
^- [Voiceover] The first week of Exercise

00:02.390 --> 00:04.906
^Green Flag East wrapped up with the biggest close

00:04.906 --> 00:06.734
^air support mission yet.

00:06.734 --> 00:09.254
Pilots with the Colombian Air Force met up in the sky

00:09.254 --> 00:12.921
with their well-known American counterparts.

00:13.427 --> 00:16.048
Although both countries bring something unique to the table

00:16.048 --> 00:18.161
when it comes to air superiority,

00:18.161 --> 00:21.173
the planning and pre-flight processes are very similar,

00:21.173 --> 00:24.608
making communication between air crews simple and efficient.

00:24.608 --> 00:25.441
^- They're very similar,

00:25.441 --> 00:27.086
^obviously it's a different platform,

00:27.086 --> 00:29.003
^different capabilities,

00:30.017 --> 00:30.850
and specs,

00:31.281 --> 00:33.373
but in reality, that mission of cast

00:33.373 --> 00:34.893
that they are training to,

00:34.893 --> 00:37.143
and that we do in the A-10,

00:38.139 --> 00:39.139
is the same.

00:39.214 --> 00:40.968
- [Voiceover] The A-10s from Moody Air Force Base,

00:40.968 --> 00:43.641
are planned to join the A-29b Super Tucanos

00:43.641 --> 00:47.314
in two more days of missions over northwest Louisiana.

00:47.314 --> 00:48.896
From Exercise Green Flag East at

00:48.896 --> 00:50.976
Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana,

00:50.976 --> 00:53.809
I'm Staff Sergeant Katie Maricle.
