On December 9, Norrbotten's air force wing, F21, will fly south along the Baltic coast. After refueling in Uppsala, they will head north again via Dalarna, Jämtland, and Västerbotten.

On December 11, a second flight over northern Sweden and northern Finland is planned, together with the Finnish air force.

On December 9, Blekinge's air force wing, F17, will also fly over, among other places, Copenhagen, Helsingborg, Malmö, and Ronneby, accompanied by the Danish air force.

The next day, they will fly north towards Stockholm and Uppsala via Visby, and on their way back, they will pass through, among other places, Södermanland and Östergötland.

On the same day, Skaraborg's air force wing, F7, will fly twice. First, they will head north west of Lake Vänern over Värmland, Örebro, Södermanland, and Västmanland before turning back along the western shore of Lake Vättern. Then, they will be accompanied by the Norwegian air force along a route that goes via Oslo down the west coast to Halmstad and then back via Borås.

For more detailed information about each route, the Swedish Armed Forces refer to the wings' social media.
