Ces routes sont proches souvent des bases militaires , ce qui permet aux avions de rouler vers ces pistes secondaires
A noter aussi que certaines de ces routes sont équipées de brins d'arrêt.The Finnish Air Force has been using several ‘highway strips’ – or dual carriageways – across Finland for dispersed operations for many years. This practice enables it to base fighters at each strip, making it very difficult to destroy the Air Force on the ground. All the main bases are close to a carriageway, to which fighters can taxi. Because of this, the main bases are used only in peace time; during crises, they are mostly empty as they are likely to be targeted quite early in any possible war.
Les F/A-18 finlandais sont pour rappel équipés de crochets d'appontage
Some highways strips have prepared pads for an arresting cable.
Sur ces terrains , un F/A-18 peut être ravitaillé en 10 / 15 minutes

On se pose quelques questions sur la compatibilité du F-35 avec ce genre de terrains.
Certes le F-35 opère en Alaska mais à partir de hangars spécialement aménagés .
