The Tiger school
It is an exceptional helicopter in many regards. The Tiger -- the latest generation combat-support helicopter -- is a technological and military success. It is an ultrasophisticated aircraft, incredibly easy to handle and equipped with a fearsome weapon system, that requires considerable skill to pilot. At the Tiger School, which opened its doors in the Var, in Southen France, in January 2006, the future pilots of the European Combat Helicopter undergo a truly high-tech training.
