Top Aces to Provide Adversary Air Training for Danish F-35s Using Skyhawks and Alpha Jets
Private adversary air provider Top Aces will support the Royal Danish Air Force's new fleet of F-35A Lightning II fighters. The company has been contracted to supply aggressor training services from Skrydstrup Air Base. For these missions, Top Aces will utilize its fleet of classic Douglas A-4 Skyhawk and Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet aircraft. This form of dissimilar air combat training is crucial for fifth-generation fighter pilots to practice tactics against different types of potential threats. The partnership allows Danish pilots to hone their skills in a realistic combat simulation environment.
