Operation Aquila

'Depictied as an eagle, Aquila is the name of the bird that belonged to Zeus. Aquila's most famous task was carrying the mortal Ganymede to the heavens to serve as Zeus' cup bearer. Aquila is also the name given to the F-5 Tiger II conversion course of the Austrian pilots. The first course started 14 June 2004 and should last five weeks. By that time, each of the four Austrian pilots will have had 30 flights - of which three will be on the F-5F.
