Following their first flight in October and official handover in Italy on December 7, the first two Eurofighter Typhoons have been delivered to the Kuwait Air Force (KAF). The pair of two-seat aircraft arrived in Kuwait on December 14 at the end of a “trail” ferry flight refueled by two Boeing KC-767 tankers operated by the Aeronautica Militare Italiana (AMI, Italian air force) from the 14° Stormo (wing) and escorted by two Typhoons from the 4° Stormo.
