This time with the performance of night missions where the Colombian military pilots will be put to the test. Kfir and KC767 aircraft, will carry out missions in combined operations with forces of other countries and a higher level of complexity, using the night as an ally for success of the mission.

This is how Colombian aircraft, led by experienced Air Force officers, made the first flight under NVG conditions, that required meticulous planning to achieve, defeat and protect the objectives assigned by the organization. this package of airplanes, composed of Kfir and B52 "Stratofortress" as bombers, being escorted by F16 "Fighting Falcon" and EA18G "Growler", whose mission is around forty targets.

Once again, a milestone was made for Colombian military aviation, when carrying out the first night refueling operation in flight from the KC767 Tanker "Jupiter" to EA/18G aircraft of the United States Navy, transferring more than 3800 gallons of fuel in four connections in a maneuver whose accuracy and expertise on the part of both crews, managed to extend the range of operation of these electronic warfare aircraft, whose purpose is to neutralize and disable the enemy air defense systems.

The Colombian and US airplanes also had to guarantee an additional mission of search and rescue of a combat pilot that had been ejected in hostile territory, guaranteeing the security so that the designated airplanes could evacuate their comrade in arms, in a day that was fulfilled satisfactorily for all the members of the package in which the Colombian Air Force participated.
