A joint drill by the Israeli and German air forces on August 18 included an historic flyover above the Dachau concentration camp and also above Munich, both sites in memory of the victims of the Holocaust and of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre.

Two Israeli F-16s and two German Eurofighters escorted an Israeli Air Force Gulfstream G-550 carrying the commanders of both air forces — Israeli Air Force Commander Maj. Gen. Amikam Norkin and chief of the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) Lt. Gen. Ingo Gerhartz — over the camp memorial outside Munich, while a third Eurofighter filmed the formation from the sky.

Then the flyover passed above the Fürstenfeldbruck Air Base, where 11 Israeli athletes and coaches were murdered during the 1972 summer Olympics in a terrorist attack carried out by the Black September Palestinian Terrorist Group.

At the end of the aerial maneuver, a formal memorial service was conducted at the Dachau camp, with German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer and Israeli Ambassador to Germany Jeremy Issacharoff in attendance.
