Ørland Main Air Station (Norwegian: Ørland hovedflystasjon) is situated at the mouth of the Trondheimsfjord in the municipality of Ørland, in the center of Norway. Ørland is operated by the Royal Norwegian Air Force and is an important air base not only for Norway, but also for NATO. The air station is the base of F-16 fighter aircraft, Westland Sea King search and rescue helicopters and a location for E-3A ''Sentry'' AWACS. It is also the host of many NATO exercises. In addition, Air Norway operates a scheduled route with Fairchild SA-227AC Metro III aircraft to Oslo Airport, Gardermoen. ==Operations== Air Wing 138 is stationed at the main air station. Under it are most operations at the air station, including Squadron 338, the Luftvernartilleribataljon (GBAD unit), the Base-Set I (mobile QRF unit), but not the Squadron 330. The Norwegian F-16 IRF (Immediate Reaction Force) is stationed here together with support administration. The squadron can act independently without support from the host nation. The Squadron 338 has half the Royal Norwegian Air Force' 57 F-16 aircraft and has 22 pilots. Ørland is the only air station in Northern Europe that has ground handling equipment for the E-3A ''Sentry'' AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System). It is considered a forward operations location (FOL), but not a base for these aircraft. There is also a detachment of four Westland Sea King search and rescue helicopters from the 330 Squadron at Sola Air Station to assist any emergency at sea or in other unreachable places. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ørland Main Air Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
