Vietnam, United States Hold Airpower Talks
HANOI, July 23, 2009 - Senior officials from the Vietnamese People's Air Force and U.S. Air Force are meeting in Vietnam July 21-24 to share information and set the stage for future partnering activities.
The series of meetings, held under the Pacific Air Forces' Airman-to-Airman Talks program, was organized with the Vietnam government by officials at 13th Air Force here. Lt. Gen. Chip Utterback, 13th Air Force commander, is leading the U.S. delegation.
"Our interest in these talks is to build relationships that will help us down the road," General Utterback said. "When we have these face-to-face meetings with other airmen in the region, and we speak the language of airpower, we're able to find common ground and opportunities to work together later."
Representatives from 13th Air Force gave members of Vietnam's Air Defense Air Force Command in Hanoi a general briefing on the U.S. Air Force and a presentation on U.S. Air Force pilot training programs, both on July 22. Maj. Nate Flint, a C-17 pilot assigned to 13th Air Force, gave the training brief.
"What's really interesting about this visit has been that despite whatever history there is between our nations, we've been able to communicate with each other as airmen wearing the uniform of our respective nations," Major Flint said. "It's been great sharing with them about our air force and learning from them at the same time."
Vietnamese air force officials will take the visiting Americans to a pilot training academy in Nha Trang, where they will receive a tour and take part in a question and answer session with students. The U.S. Air Force participants will also visit the Vietnamese People's Air Force Division 370 in Saigon City.
Hi Eric,
es scheint, die Situation in Süd-Ost-Asien und besonders in den disputen maritimen Weg im Ostern Ozean (nach vietnamesischer Ansicht) oder Southern Ozean (nach chinesischer Ansicht) ist immer interessanter. Nun meldet sich USA nach 34 Jahren nach dem Ende des Vietmamkriegs (30.April 1075) wieder aktiver zurück.
Kannst Du Dir vorstellen, dass Vietnam irgendwann und irgendwie militärische Hardware aus USA bekommen könnte - angesichts der gemeinsamen Interesse " tu was " gegen die militärische Ambition von China zum Beherrschen dieses strategisch wichtigen maritimen Wegs ?
