Wings of the Alliance 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇫🇷🇫🇮: From high-speed formation flights over Finland to precision ground ops at Pirkkala Air Base, Exercise Atlantic Trident is underway and we’re getting our first shots of the participants….U.S. F-15Es, F-35As, Finnish F/A-18s, French Rafales, and a few support assets like KC-135Rs and AWACS aircraft working to integrate their capabilities with NATO allies and key partner militaries. 
.
This year’s exercise is focused on sharpening “joint lethality, refining readiness, and reinforcing the collective resolve to defend the Euro-Atlantic region against any threat….”…timely. 
.
Notably, it’s Finland’s participation for the first time as a NATO member…..
