Joint forces partake in Arctic Challenge

Two Finnish Air Force F-18C Hornets prepare to refuel with a U.S. Air Force KC-135R Stratotanker Sept. 17, 2013, over Norway during the Arctic Challenge exercise. The Hornets formed a “Red Team” strike package with six F-15E Strike Eagles from the 48th Fighter Wing as they attempted to “raid” an enemy command post during this portion of the exercise.

None are real-world events.)
