NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg took to the skies in a German Eurofighter on Thursday 25 April 2024 as part of his visit to the 73 Tactical Air Wing at Laage Air Base in Germany.
The Secretary General called his flight “a great experience,” adding the Laage Airbase is “important for NATO, because what they do from here is to educate the best pilots in the world and also to support the different air policing missions, which is important in a more challenging security environment.”
During the flight, he witnessed a German tanker refuelling a Swedish JAS Gripen fighter jet, in a demonstration of interoperability and NATO Allies working together
