In April 2013, Leeuwarden Air Base was once again hosting the international exercise “Frisian Flag”. For two weeks, aircraft from various countries had practising their skills at air defence missions as well as air strikes against ground targets. Frisian Flag 2013 is heavily focused on international cooperation. Apart from the airforces from the various participating nations, this was an exercise in cooperation between the various tactical air commands and tactical air control agencies. The organisation of Frisian Flag is the responsibility of the 323 Sqn TACTES (Tactical Training, Evaluation and Standardisation) at Leeuwarden Air Base. About 55 aircraft were at the flight line of Leeuwarden Air Base, with sorties being flown twice a day with approximately 40 aircraft. Participants were Dutch F-16MLU from the two Air Bases of Leeuwarden and Volkel, Belgian F-16MLU, German EF-2000, F-16C 52 from Poland, JAS-39C Gripen from Sweden, Mirage F1CR and Mirage 2000C from France. Dutch KDC-10s and GAF A 310 MRTT were taking part as tanker aircraft and AWACS units from the NATO as flying radar platforms. The missions were flown during Frisian Flag 2013 have included air defence missions, offensive missions, missions to protect other aircraft(air transport, AWACS or other aircraftthat do not have self-protection equipment) and the elimination of static and dynamic targets on the ground or at sea. The name “Frisian Flag” was chosen as a reference to various other international exercises of a similar nature, which all featured the word “Flag” in their name, such as “Red Flag”(in the USA) and “Maple Flag” (in Canada). “Red Flag” refers to the red flag that is hoisted as an exercise range whenever any service unit is activ within that area. In the name “Frisian Flag” reference is made to the province of Friesland, the home of the hosting air base. Year 2020 session of Frisian Flag 2020 was scheduled to take place at Leeuwarden Air Base, Netherlands, from March 23 to April 3. This multinational exercise is one of the largest live-fly fighter exercises in Europe that includes Dutch Vipers and many other of fighter jets from NATO Nations.
