Quickie question as mate and his wife on their honeymoon , month back on a cruise line tour around the Nordic region though they spotted a lone F-16C in the mountain valleys in Stalheim but I'm not overly sure if they fly over there as the nearest base is right up north west at Orland.

Any NATO exercises around the coast near Stalheim last few months?

Sound like the typical "...to few pilots on the sqn this week to get anything done.....let's do a solo navex along the coast..."

Probably a F-16 from Ørland......for what it's worth it's a F-16AM :)

Less than 200nm? Not too far for an F16 to transit.
