Ride along in a USAF F-35 for a cockpit view of landings and takeoffs from a narrow road in Finland, one of that nation’s preparations for military contingencies. From the Air Force: “Two U.S. Air Force F-35 Lightning IIs assigned to 48th Fighter Wing RAF, Lakenheath, U.K., land during exercise BAANA 2024 on Hosio Highway strip, Ranua, Finland, Sept. 4, 2024. During the exercise, the F-35s demonstrated landing and takeoff operations on the Finnish highway strip to practice Agile Combat Employment, which increases the ability of collective partners to collaborate and operate in a joint, high-intensity environment, improving readiness, responsiveness, and interoperability.” (U.S. Air Force video by MSgt Perry Aston)
