U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Michael Abourched, a KC-130J Super Hercules pilot with Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron (VMGR) 252, gives Norwegian airmen a tour of a KC-130J Super Hercules aircraft at Rygge Air Base, Norway, March 5, 2026. The tour familiarized the Norwegian airmen with the aircraft ahead of their combined training during exercise Cold Response 26. A key component of NATO's enhanced vigilance activity Arctic Sentry, exercise Cold Response 26 is a Norwegian-led winter military exercise designed to enhance collective defense capabilities and ensure U.S. readiness to rapidly deploy and seamlessly operate alongside NATO Allies in challenging arctic conditions. Abourched is a native of North Carolina. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Mya Seymour)
