Frisian Flag 2014

Quick 3-days Dutch transfer to take photos at exercise Frisian Flag 2014.
Frisian Flag 2014 focuses on COMAOs (COMbined Air Operations), missions which require coordinating packages of several dozens combat aircraft.

The exercise took place in Leeuwarden airbase.

The Royal Netherlands Air Force deployed several F-16s, both based in Leeuwarden and redeployed from Volkel.
