> We learned that many Norwegian fighter pilots received their initial training in the USA. We definitely were among friends! This was a really surprising part for me. Norway is, and has "always" been a part of NATO. Only one (I think) fringe (well, mostly, they flew high 6 or so years ago) party has really been opposed to Norways NATO membership. Norwegian troops also train regularly together with other allied troops so learning that top trained pilots would wonder if they were among friends when they landed were.. weird.
