Lieutenant Colonel Henning Homb, Royal Norwegian Air Force, Bodø Air Base Commander, speaks of his perspectives about exercise Trident juncture 18.
”From our perspective, the exercise went very well, actually extremely well and it was very nice hosting so many different countries and watching NATO as the Alliance working so closely together and doing what we’re here for, for our part being host base for Allied purposes, this time it was training and we’re prepared to if we need to in another framework.”

Colonel Eric Moses, USAF, local operations control commander in Bodø, speaks of his perspectives about exercise Trident juncture 18.
“This exercise has been a success because we brought people from all the different Allied nations and a couple Partner nations together, we worked as a common group to solve problems and conduct missions in support of our army and navy brethren and we got to see how, in the joint environment, we can come together at short notice and make complex missions work on a daily basis. I’ve learned we have many,
many professional aviators from all the different Allied and Partner countries and that they can come together on short notice and conduct successful missions even in a complex harsh weather environment. The best part of this exercise was getting to meet different people and different aviators from all of our different partner nations and getting to experience the cordiality of our Norwegian hosts.”

Major Xenidis Kyriakos, Hellenic Air Force
“My experience here flying fro Trident Juncture 18 is really been great. I mean, being part of Hellenic Air Force, I’m used to flying in the southern part of NATO. Coming here, being a part of this major exercise, gave me the opportunity to fly in the northern part of NATO along with all these great airmen and as an experience I will really hold on to that for all of my career. Well, the best part flying here in the exercise had to be that I came to realize what I knew in theory, that being from different nations, speaking different languages, when we came here I understood that, as airmen, NATO neighbours, we speak the same language, the same language for all.”

“It was just awesome, especially for the French. I’m very proud of all my team, they did a great work with especially the technicians, the pilots and all the others of course. And we worked very well with all the other nations.
