Summary: Aircraft arrive at Tampere-Pirkkala Airport in southern Finland prior to ADEX 03, a joint air force exercise.
Description: I. Swedish Air Force Saab JA-27 Viggen and Finnish Airforce F-18 Hornet aircraft land at the airport; it is a rainy day and they throw up large amounts of spray. General view of airport terminal building. Viggen is towed on the apron. Further shots of Hornets landing, followed by Sea Harriers of RAF 801 Squadron.
II. Excerpt from press briefing in lecture theatre prior to the exercise; sound is virtually inaudible but slides give details of the exercise's purpose and participants.
III. Various views of two Dassault Da 20 Falcon business jets of FR Aviation (G-FFRA and G-FRAJ) on the tarmac.
IV. Lockheed Tristar airliner of the Royal Netherlands Air Force lands and taxies onto the apron; once the steps have been put in place, military personnel disembark carrying bags and boxes of equipment (one box is marked "Harrier Mechanical Support"). Personnel form a human chain to take bags from the aircraft. Close shots of the Tristar, including its name "Jan Scheffer". After disembarkation, the aircraft is prepared for its return journey; it taxies and takes off.
