6–11 March: KC-135 Stratotanker Media Flight
The U.S. Air Force is proud to announce the KC-135 Stratotanker media flight under Nordic Response, aimed at showcasing our presence in The High North and highlighting Nordic integration.
This event underscores the importance of aerial refueling in assuring NATO's ability to execute flying missions, sustain readiness, and support Allies and partners around the globe.
The events will take place on 6 March in Kallax, Sweden, 7 March in Rovaniemi, Finland, and 11 March in Stavanger, Norway. Timings may vary at each location due to differences in unit schedules.
Media representatives will have the unique opportunity to engage with the crew, experience a flight aboard a KC-135 tanker, and witness aerial refueling operations during NR24.
Please note that there are a limited number of spaces on each event. We reserve the right to select which media may participate.
- Timings: Exact details will be provided after registration
