You will find the same exercises regularly held by the Pakistan Air Force on the highways there as well. Videos on youtube.

To be blunt, I always enjoyed the Cold War science phantasy concept of a squadron of Harrier STOVLs operating inside a western European city, after enemy SSMs disabled their air base runways. 8D

I was disappointed when the ASTOVL programmes, whether P.1154 or Yak-141, were aborted.

A filming crew from National Geographic Channel (NGC) was given unprecedented access to Taiwan's air bases during the Hankuang 27 road runway exercise in April.

The 45-minute documentary will be shown on Oct. 9.

17 November 2011:
Although ROCAF practised the scheduled "landing on highway as auxiliary runway" exercise at the Jia Dong section of a national highway, due to rainy weather and water on highway surface, ROCAF aircraft flew low passes only, and didn't land.

The F-16 representative was F-16B 6802 of 455th Composite Wing, ROCAF.

The exercise closed the Jia Dong section from 11/14 12 PM to 11/19 8 AM.
