Luftforsvaret

Luftforsvarets emblem.

Norsk F-16-jagerfly.

Luftforsvaret er det norske flyvevåben. Det blev etableret som en separat del af forsvaret den 10. november 1944 af den norske eksilregering i London.

Hovedopgaverne er at identificere ukendte fly i fredstid, udføre offensive flyoperationer mod angribende invasionsstyrker til søs og i luften i krigstid samt overvågning af Norges territorialfarvand. Bortset fra droner har Luftforsvaret monopol på norsk militærflyvning.

Foruden 1.430 personer, som er direkte tilknyttet Luftforsvaret, har denne gren af forsvaret omkring 100 officerer og 600 værnepligtige soldater.

Flag of Europe.svg
The Flag of Europe is the flag and emblem of the European Union (EU) and Council of Europe (CoE). It consists of a circle of 12 golden (yellow) stars on a blue background. It was created in 1955 by the CoE and adopted by the EU, then the European Communities, in the 1980s.

The CoE and EU are distinct in membership and nature. The CoE is a 47-member international organisation dealing with human rights and rule of law, while the EU is a quasi-federal union of 27 states focused on economic integration and political cooperation. Today, the flag is mostly associated with the latter.

It was the intention of the CoE that the flag should come to represent Europe as a whole, and since its adoption the membership of the CoE covers nearly the entire continent. This is why the EU adopted the same flag. The flag has been used to represent Europe in sporting events and as a pro-democracy banner outside the Union.
