The Sweet Swag of Ramstein Flag 2025
Ramstein Flag 2025 (RAFL25) just wrapped up. The NATO Allied Air Command exercise was, despite its name, based out of Leeuwarden Airbase in Holland but stretched across RAF bases in England to Danish bases (Skrydstrup) and Luftwaffe installations in Germany, involving more than 90 aircraft from 12 bases supported by 18 nations.
As detailed by U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa:
For two weeks, U.S. Air Force aircraft and personnel from various bases in Europe will participate in NATO Allied Air Command’s Ramstein Flag 2025 exercise. Ramstein Flag 2025 is a multi-domain, tactical-level live fly exercise to train, demonstrate and advance combined warfare capabilities including agile combat employment, integrated air and missile defense, and counter anti-access and area denial in a simulated Article 5 scenario.
The aircraft and patches, as detailed by NATO photographers, are awesome including F-35As from Denmark, the U.S., and the Netherlands; German Eurofighter EF2000s, Finnish F-18Cs, assorted F-16s (including Greek, Turkish, and the first Romainian birds), the Swedish and Hungarian Saab JAS 39 Gripens, and the French Rafale RAF-C.
