NORWEGIAN AIR POLICING: THE PAST AND THE FUTURE
RAMSTEIN, Germany - The Norwegian F-16 Fighting Falcon, which has safeguarded the skies for 40 years,
will close an honorable and historic chapter as the F-35 Lightning II opens a new one,
starting its Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) duties from Evenes Air Base next January.
On January 6, 2022,
the Royal Norwegian Air Force F-35 fighter jets will launch an active QRA from Evenes for the first time.
According to the plan, the last two F-16 QRA aircraft will have their last mission out of Evenes and return to Bodø,
marking the official end of Bodø Air Base as a home to fighter aircraft;
one of the long-standing reliable F-16 jets will remain as a museum exhibit at the Aviation Museum in Bodø.
