Comments:

The USAF deployed 12 F-15C/D Eagles under the European Reassurance Iniative / Operation Atlantic Resolve. Four Eagles were based at Keflavik, Iceland taking up the Iceland Air Policing mission. After Frisian Flag the F-15s moved to Eastern Europe (Graf Ignatievo, Bulgaria) with mini deployments made to other Eastern European NATO countries.
