The annual exercise Frisian Flag 2001 at Leeuwarden, brought some exceptional visitors from
Finland with F-18c's.
Together with the Dutch ,
German ,
French and
Norwegian participants, they participated in Frisian Flag.
The dutch TRA 1 to 8, the german D-100 and the danish BR1 were the main reserved
airspace's of the exercise. To train large scale multi-national scenario's for
both offensive and defensive Counter Air roles. In close cooperation
with 'assets' on the ground, in the air and on open seas.
Frisian Flag 2001 was organised (as usual) by the 323 squadron of Leeuwarden.
On the flightline, the finnish groundcrew performed a strange anti-static act with a special broom.
Thanks for the Leeuwarden PRO department for the organization of this day. Due to the tensed status w.r.t. the war in Afghanistan, it was uncertain if this exercise would continue. Whereby the presence of photographers was even uncertain.
