From September 24th untill October 1st, Ørland MAS hosted the annual NATO Tiger Meet “Arctic Tiger”. For some of us it was a return back to Ørland after being home for only one week after the exercise BOLD AVENGER had finished.
For the Tiger Meet we deployed 3 Tornados (27th Sept.- 01st October) via Wittmund in Northern Germany to Norway for a partial participation only (more or less a x-country flight over the weekend due to internal constraints). Our newly designed Tigerjet 46+48 lead us northbound with its crew SMASH and SLIDER.
Upon arrival in Orland we already started our planning for the next day's local flight over the beautiful mountainous area up to the polar circle at latitude 66,5° N. On friday around noon our gears retracted for a total of 1:40 h flight time. This year as many as 17 Squadrons from all over NATO participated in this valuable exercise. Everybody learned a lot, had great fun and enjoyed the outstanding Norwegian friendship and hosting. Here some Tiger Meet 2007 impressions:
In the end 31 Sqn (F16) from Kleine Brogel, Belgium had the honour to win the Silvertiger and take it home until the next Tiger Meet. This Trophy is given to the Squadron with the best overall performance.
