ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Baana 22 highway exercise in Finland.

Post by pettuo »

Hello!

The Finnish Air Force Academy arranged the Baana 22 exercise in Joutsa on 26 to 29 September 2022. The part of highway 4 used as a landing strip will be closed to all traffic during the exercise.

Baana is a road base exercise annually conducted by the Finnish Air Force. The lead responsibility of the exercise rotates every year among the Air Force units, and in 2022, it is the Air Force Academy’s turn. The Air Force trains regularly operations from other than a home base to be capable of a quick dispersal across the country, when necessary. Participation in operations from road bases is a part of Air Force pilot training.

I'm sure no one on this forum will not! Great contribution, thanks for sharing. It's a good thing this exercise was held in late September, I love the Autumn colors in the background as much as the jets!

Cheerio,
Rob

Very good colors due to autumn trees. Remember driving through Finland on spotting trips noticing several highway strips; very efficient operational model. Sweden and Poland seem to hold on to this model as well.

Were these pictures taken from a public road, or do you need a special invitation to witness the operations?

These pics were taken from a public road and you not need a special invitation.
But photography is possible only in two road bases and air force is using these road bases approximately every four years.
