- "Egyptian eyes only" school Rafale Mont-de-Marsan
* Forty pilots and mechanics Egyptians this summer
* In the absence of export, the center was previously Franco-French
* Theoretical Training in Mont-de-Marsan, convenient to Saint-Dizier
by Marine Pennetier
Mont-de-Marsan, Landes, Sept. 2 (Reuters) - "Egyptian eyes only" at the training center Rafale Air Base Mont-de-Marsan (Landes), some inscriptions testify to the recent visit of forty Egyptian drivers and mechanics follow from a few months training to fly the French fighter.
On the ground floor, the "rest room - Egypt" (rest room) is still attached to a door. Upstairs, an autographed photograph of Egyptian pilots proudly posing in front of a Rafale adorns the wall as a souvenir.
Meanwhile other foreign visitors.
Lack of success of Dassault's fighter aircraft export for almost 30 years, the Rafale training Mont-de-Marsan was long remained Franco-French - one an English pilot had come to form in the context of a Franco-British partnership in 2012.
But the Sale of 24 Rafale to Egypt and Qatar, besides prospects with India and other countries, have changed the situation and open new perspectives for the military responsible for training
