righto... Just want to point out that there is no "Ørland Main Airfield", in fact there are no "Main Airfields" in Norway at all. The correct english term is Main Air Station, abbreviated to Ørland MAS and Bodø MAS. In norwegian, they're named Ørland Hovedflystasjon (abb: Ørland HFS or even shorter: ØHF) and Bodø Hovedflystasjon (abb: Bodø HFS or BHF)

Someone proficient with editing these kind of things should fix this. I'd only bugger things up :) There are quite a few links to these names to fix as well, for instance on the Royal Norwegian Air Force article.

I see from their website that they call them any of "main air station", "main airstation", "main airbase" and "main air base"... However "main airfield" is clearly not correct, but i'll figure out which of the other alternatives are, then fix this article (and "Bodø Main Airfield" aswell). BsL 17:57Z 2006-01-04

The Airforce happily clarified this, and I've renamed from Ørland Main Airfield to Ørland Main Air Station. See http://odin.dep.no/fd/engelsk/publ/veiledninger/010051-120161/dok-bn.html for correct names. BsL 18:23Z 2006-01-05

[edit] 339 Sqadron?

I see an anonymous user has changed the 330 sqadron to 339 sqadron. As far as I can see it 330 is correct. See The Royal Norwegian Air Force' page on Ørland (unfortunetly in Norwegian) where they clearly state the 330 sqadron. (i'm sorry i can't find an official source in English). As I am confident in my sources, I will revert the article, but feel free to comment if you can source anything stating 339 Arsenikk 16:10, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
