Exercise Magic Carpet 2005
A Sea Harrier FA2 taking off from HMS Invincible during Exercise Magic Carpet 05.
Exercise Magic Carpet 05 (MC 05) was an Omani hosted and RAF Strike Command sponsored exercise. The exercise was an opportunity for RN, RAF, Omani, French Air Force, USAF and USN squadrons to deploy and practice heavy-weapon bomb drops, utilising the extensive ranges and relatively clear airspace available over Oman. There were a variety of aircraft which took part, including our own Sea Harriers, GR7s and SKASaC, USN F18 and S3 Viking, USAF F16, French Mirage 2000 and RAF Tornado F3, Jaguar, VC10 air to air refuelling and E3D AWACS. In total around 60 aircraft were in theatre, allowing for realistic exercising of a coalition forces.
The participation of HMS Invincible with her Tailored Air Group (TAG) gave an excellent opportunity to prove the Strike Carrier concept within a controlled exercise environment and gain some useful general warfare training. It was be a good opportunity for the ships company to progress training in an exercise environment

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the thrilling moment of a Sea Harrier FA2 taking off from HMS Invincible during Exercise Magic Carpet 2005 (MC 05). This exercise, hosted by Oman and sponsored by RAF Strike Command, provided an invaluable opportunity for various squadrons from different nations to deploy and practice heavy-weapon bomb drops. The extensive ranges and clear airspace over Oman allowed around 60 aircraft, including Sea Harriers, GR7s, SKASaC, F18s, S3 Vikings, F16s, Mirage 2000s, Tornado F3s, Jaguars, VC10 air-to-air refueling planes and E3D AWACS to participate in realistic coalition forces exercises. The involvement of HMS Invincible with her Tailored Air Group (TAG) proved the effectiveness of the Strike Carrier concept within a controlled exercise environment. Additionally, it offered valuable general warfare training for the ship's company. This print not only showcases the power and agility of the Sea Harrier as it takes flight but also symbolizes the collaborative efforts between naval and air forces from multiple nations.
