Pair of US Air Force F-35s make historic landing on highway in Finland
Fox News
Two U.S. Air Force military jets participated in exercises in Finland, one of which involved the aircraft landing on a roadway, simulating the ability to land and take off anywhere.
BAANA 24 is the annual road base exercises, and the Finnish Air Force regularly trains outside its main operating bases to be able to quickly disperse aircraft across Finland if necessary. The activities prepare the military branch for battle from anywhere, according to a press release from the Finnish military. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
The objective is to do take-offs and landings at a road base. Story tips and can be sent to Greg.Wehner@Fox.com and on Twitter @GregWehner.
