Aircraft embarked on the French aircraft carrier Foch (R 99) arrived in the Adriatic Sea on 28 January 1999 and remained on station until the 1 June, taking part in Operation Allied Force. The wing included 14 Super Etendard Modernise (SEM) of the Flottille 11F (and aircraft from 16F), four Etendard IVP reconnaissance fighters, Alizé anti-submarine aircraft and three SA.321 Super Frelon helicopters. Illustrated is SEM No. 30 in the markings of the 16F, armed with a GBU-12 LGB on the inboard pylon, a Barracuda ECM-pod on the outboard underwing pylon, and the PDLCT laser-marker pod under the fuselage. Insets above the aircraft show the insignia of the 11F, the French naval aviation, the 16F, and the way mission markings were applied, and beneath the aircraft an AS.30L and the GBU-12 LGB.
