It sounds like there were two fighters involved in a supposed exercise and a corporate lear jet goes down.
How does that happen.............
the George Soros rumor?............
Soros?
Some of the smaller light jets are approved for single pilot operations, but not all are.
Not sure which model Lear it was, but am wondering if it required a pilot and co-pilot.
Does Soros fly or ride in the back?
Thanks RC. Interesting thread.
Offing Soros would be a public service to most of the world.

It has been reported that a privately owned Learjet has collided with a Luftwaffe Eurofighter over Sauerland in Germany. The Learjet crashed as a result but the Eurofighter managed to land at its base near Cologne.
According to the article, two Eurofighters and the Learjet were taking part in a joint exercise between the Luftwaffe and the Gesellschaft für Flugzieldarstellung (GFD), a subsiduary of Airbus Defence and Space. The Learjet was a civilian aircraft.
The Lear Jet that collided with a Eurofighter and subsequently crashed near the place Elpe in eastern Northrhine-Westphalia belonged to the ‘Gesellschaft für Flugzieldarstellung GmbH’ - GFD (Cooperation for air target simulation Ltd.) that opearates 13 Lear Jets for such tasks and is a subsidary of Airbus Defence and Space.
