Military Defense is Upheld - NATO's Tiger Meet exercise taking place in the northern region.
Military personnel from eleven NATO nations, along with Switzerland and Austria, will come together for joint training exercises in the skies above Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. Kicking off on Monday, the international air force event "Tiger Meet" will see about 60 Non-German warplanes and choppers land at the Air Force Base Jagel in Schleswig, as reported by the German armed forces (Bundeswehr). Along with the permanently situated craft, roughly 1100 additional military personnel are anticipated.
Residents in the Schleswig region should prepare for increased aerial activity and potential disruptions. Thankfully, only Early Morning and Afternoon flights are scheduled. Night missions are not on the agenda. The Air Force Base Jagel has set aside a few days for weekend flights as well. The base will be commemorating its 30th year as part of the NATO exercise, which runs until June 14th.
The Tactical Air Force Wing 51 "Immelmann" is spearheading the exercise, a third time after 2004 and 2014, with its roots dating back to the 1960s. Expect up to 1500 people at two "spotter" days on June 7th and 10th. Typically, participating aircraft are decorated with special liveries for the "Tiger Meet."
