🌍 Strengthening Partnerships in the High North

During Exercise Northern Viking 26, a U.S. Air Force C-130J Super Hercules from Ramstein Air Base, Germany was joined by four Belgian Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcons from 349 Belgian Squadron and 31 Tiger Squadron for a stunning formation flight over the rugged glaciers of Iceland. ✈️🧊

NV26 builds on a proud legacy of 75 years of U.S.-Iceland defense cooperation and unshakable support. Joint exercises like this sharpen our military readiness, proving our ability to operate in austere environments and keeping the vital waterways of the Arctic and North Atlantic open and secure. 🇺🇸🇮🇸🇧🇪
