Generally just training exercises & patrols.

The exercises can be great fun though when perfoming in large training operations with other nations.

Besides the obvious role of protecting the nation's skies, pilots are also important in maintaining their aircraft by reporting malfunctions, errors and suggesting tweaks which keep that aircraft in fighting condition.
