With the arrival of F-16s in 1980. Two years later the 113 Tijgers swiftly transitioned from NF-5s in 1982. In 1995, it was the squadron's first deployment during the Belkan War. In 2006, the squadron was deployed again to assist the IUN during the Continental War. Their last deployment was in 2019 when the squadron contributed to the Lighthouse War.

The 113 Tijgers are based in Oost-Sousburg in the province of Zeeveld. The squadron is also assigned QRA duties. During peacetime, the squadron spends a lot of time training and participating in international exercises. The Tijgers had many notable pilots including: Sven “Zaag” van Vugt, Gijs “Grizzly” de Beer, Rutger “Scammer” de Man and many more.

Before the pilots of the Royal Nordlands Air Force can proceed onto their primary aircraft assignments, Most will inprocess through the 483 Squadron, humorously referred to as ‘Kuikens’ at Eirland Air Base, located outside the Capital of the Nordlands.

Flying the MB-339, the students learn basic airmanship, as well as intro into tactics and aircraft employment that are transferable to most of the fixed wing aircraft the RNLAF flies.

As Students progress through the 24 week syllabus, some students will advance to the Allied-Joint-Jet-Pilot-Training (AJJPT) Program hosted in Osea, while others will learn their aircraft placements later on. Outside of that program, all students have equal opportunity to end up in the front-line fighter units, or the backbone of the Air Support Command. Many long-term pilots in the RNLAF will return to the 483 Squadron later on as instructors to teach the next generation of pilots.

Making up the backbone of the Royal Nordlands Air Force, the Men and Women of the Air Support Command provide Logistics, Airborne Early Warning, Air Refueling, and Training to the other two wings of the Air Force. Located in Eirland Air Base, outside of the Capital of Calevinn.

During the Osean-Erusean War, the RNLAF 206th 'Adelaarsoog' Squadron, flying the E-3A, was vital in providing C2 support to IUN Forces operating off Erusea's Western Coast. The collaboration between the 206 Squadron and the ground-based 205 Command and Control Squadron reflects a holistic approach to air defense, integrating both airborne and ground components. As the geopolitical landscape evolves, the 206 Squadron "Adelaarsoog" stands ready to fulfill its vital role in ensuring the security and effectiveness of the Royal Nordlands Air Force.

The 332nd 'Torenvalk' flying the C-130 are another Vital component, both as a military sustainment asset, as well as a Humanitarian asset, as seen during post-Ulysses

Following the dissolution of Oseas primary Aggressors squadron, the role of an affordable offensive counter-air asset became all the more vital to OADF Readiness. As a result the 552nd AGRS was reactivated to fill this vital niche.

To even be considered for the Squadron, a pilot must have completed an instructor tour at Fighter Weapons School at Newburg Air Force Base. Following selection,  pilots attend an aggressors school at the squadron Garrison at Day AFB, Before being put on rotation for base visit temporary duty assignments.

While on assignment, pilots will go to Air Combat Command wings to host abbreviated courses on ACM and handling contested airspace; the F-5s they fly being capable of mimicking flight profiles of various adversary aircraft.

Founded in the early years of the Army Aviation Brigade, the 116 Squadron gained official squadron status with the establishment of the Royal Nordlands Air Force in 1951. Operating from Oost-Sousburg Air Base, the "Ridders" operating F-16Cs, specializing in intelligence gathering. The squadron has seen many deployments like the Belkan War, Continental War, and the Lighthouse War.

This storied squadron, stationed at Oost-Sousburg, epitomizes the RNLAF's commitment to modern air defense. The 116 Squadron has proven its adaptability and expertise in intelligence operations during these complex geopolitical scenarios.

Notable pilots are Tim “Titi” van Dek, Lucas “Vogel” van Dijkzicht and many more.

After the Royal Nordlands Air Force phased out their Hawker Hunters in 1968, the squadron was deactivated. However, following the conclusion of the Belkan War, the RNLAF recognized the strategic significance of a dedicated strike squadron. In 1997, two years after the war's end, the RNLAF introduced its first F-15E aircraft. Towards the close of 1997, after 29 years of dormancy, the 114 Squadron was reactivated, now equipped with F-15E Strike Eagles.

The squadron's first operational deployment occurred nine years later during the Continental War. The "Bliksemrijders," as they are known, played a pivotal role in various combat missions throughout the conflict. The capabilities of the F-15E Strike Eagles were fully utilized, marking a triumphant return to active service for the squadron.

With the adoption of the F-16 by the Royal Nordlands Air Force, an agreement would be signed between Osea and the Kingdom for the training of the latters fighter pilots. Initially done with the 410th Fighter Squadron ‘Kickin Ass’ out of Seneca ANG, With the loss of their F-16 mission in 2000, the RNLAF would instead begin work with the Baja Cineloa ANG for F-16 training.

After pilots finish IUN Joint Jet Pilot Training (IJJPT) at Mitchell Air Force Base, They are sent to Southern Osea for six months to finish their syllabus on the F-16. Currently The 148th has eight F-16s on loan from the RNLAF for Training. After their Six month indoctrination into the aircraft, students are sent back to Nordlands for either the 113 ‘Tigers’ or 116 ‘Knights’ Squadrons, making the primary backbone of the RNLAFs Fighter force.

Dating back to the 1940s, the Buldoggen had actually been a unit of Osean origin. During economic downturn in the 1930s, many Osean veterans retreated to Nordlands for the better quality of life and economic certainty than they had faced in their homeland. When hostilities broke into open war in 1939, the Nordland crown was ill equipped to refuse the volunteer force he found in his adopted population. Due to its makeup of primarily expatriate Oseans, the “Bulldog” Squadron was operated more as a paramilitary force, then a legitimate arm of the Nordlands Army Aviation Brigade. Nevertheless, armed with Spitfires donated through a foreign Benefactor,  the Bulldogs would help enforce Nordlands sovereignty in the conflict against its aggressive neighbors alongside the rest of The Kingdoms military.

The Units unique culture and sacrifices would be memorialized with the integrated 117 Squadron ‘Buldoggen’ in the newly founded Royal Nordlands Air Force in 1951
