Last week Ilmavoimat (Finnish Air Force) F/A-18 Hornets from HävLLv 31 (Fighter Squadron 31) at Kuopio/Rissala trained their aerial refueling skills with a KC-135R Stratotanker of the 351st Air Refueling Squadron "Anytime Anyplace Anywhere" from RAF Mildenhall.

The goal of the aerial refueling exercises, which are conducted twice a year with the US Air Force, is to train, maintain and renew the air refueling qualifications of Finnish fighter pilots. Completing the that qualification is part of the training cyclus of Hornet pilots.

The name of the exercise is Ilmatankkausharjoitus 2/20 (Air Refueling Exercise 2/20). The aircraft were refueled in the training area between Rovaniemi, Kuusamo, Kajaani and Oulu in Finnish airspace.

A Belarus Air Force MiG-29 was seen during the Belarussian/Russian "Slavic Brotherhood" exercise. A unique air to air video we think!

The Belarusian MiG-29s are based at Baranovichi and belong to the 61st Fighter Air Base (61 IAB). Scramble assesses that some forty MiG-29S and eight MiG-29UBs are still more-or-less operational within the Belarussian Air Force, including this 48 red.
