Arrr, matey! Two sky pirates o' the U.S. Air Force be flyin' their metal birds in the frosty lands of Finland! One brave soul dared to land upon a roadway, claimin’ they can take to the skies from any ol' patch o' ground. Avast, what a merry sight!

Arrr, gather 'round ye scallywags and behold the tale of two fierce F-35 Lightning II jets that dared to land upon the highways of Finland, a feat most audacious, I say! This be no ordinary day, for ‘twas a part of the grand Finnish Air Force’s BAANA 2024, a raucous road base exercise fit to tickle any pirate’s fancy.
