In 2007, when the Russians came around the North Cape in force, for the first time in 15 years, the Norwegian Q 9 and 10 jets recovered from the north cape area to Bardufoss for hot refueling before setting off back north.
Then about 1 hr later the windows in the tower shook as i spottet Q11 and Q12 on the radar scope at FL300+ moving 'somewhat fast' for the cape, coming from Bodų.
It was a busy weekend.
