Discovery Air Defence Services (DADS) took over the provision of fast jet training services for the German armed forces this month. The Canadian company will use seven significantly upgraded A-4N Skyhawks based at Wittmund to fulfill the five-year German contract. The service was previously provided by BAE Systems, also using A-4Ns.
