Arctic Challenge Bodø Main Air Station Norway

Video by Airman 1st Class Amanda Sampson 48th Fighter Wing Public Affairs
Arctic Challenge Exercise (ACE) 2013 in Norway. Aircraft included RAF Lakenheath's F-15Cs and Strike Eagles, the Norweigan F-16 Falcon, Sweden's JAS-39 Gripen, and the Finnish F-18 Hornet. ACE 2013 was a large-force training exercise between the US and its NATO allies that worked on improving joint and combined air operations and building upon an already strong military-to-military partnership for all nations involved.

Every time I see a picture of Norway it's just jaw dropping beautiful. Look at that scenery!

[tjaaaaaaaa]

I live in Bodø, and it's just so great to see all these beutifull planes all over again! I miss the sound of them taking off over the roof of where i live, and to both hear and see them when they where on approach to land. Come back next year!

I love the SOUND and SIGHTS of FREEDOM! Thanks

In my day (75-77) RAF Lakenheath was still flying F-4E Phantom IIs. Yep, I'm old!

Looks like perfect location for air base.

The camera-angles will most likely be influenced that Bodø MAS has severe restrictions on filming/photographing.

I bet it wasn't 90' there as it was here. I really hate Florida sometimes. Awesome shots!

[DustinH]

Yes, the F-15 does have two F-16 engines, they are the same F-100 series of engines :)

[trymmen]

I cant help thinking about that there is "two F16" (eninges) in a f15. The f15 is massive!!

[AntonMSP]

Seems you had a busy day today Airboyed...

[GeorgeJansen]

the eagles brake retarder...what would happen if it open the opposite direction?

[RudyNortz]

When I was there it was F-100D and F models. I'm older! LOL

[dklearjet]

Great subject matter and scene but loosen up that tripod head. It was way too "shifty".

[TalksWithDirt]

Amazing ain't it? Who'd think a F-15 could be confused as a fjord escort?

[mrblujet]

Tripods are not always your best friend.

[PchanStitch]

These guys aren't going for uber high production values. More just footage to choose from to make quick clips out of for news reports.
