U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III instructor pilot Capt. Gabriel Wetlesen prepares to lead a preflight brief at RNZAF Base Ohakea, New Zealand, before embarking on an airlift mission in support of Exercise Kiwi Flag Nov. 9. Wetlesen, the flight commander for the mission, is assigned to the 517th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron for the duration of the three-week exercise. Norway is the closest thing to home for this airman who was raised in a military family. He is assigned as the 517th Readiness Flight commander at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska. Kiwi Flag is a multilateral RNZAF-sponsored tactical airlift exercise conducted in New Zealand. Air assets from U.S. Air Force, RNZAF, Royal Australian Air Force, Republic of Singapore Air Force, and French Armed Forces of New Caledonia are participating. Air operations will be conducted out of RNZAF Base Ohakea. KF provides air support to Exercise Southern Katipo, New Zealand Defence Force's largest multilateral joint force amphibious exercise with eight other nations participating: United States Army and Marines, Australia, Canada, France, Malaysia, Singapore, Papua New Guinea and Tonga.
