U.S. sending F-15s, KC-135 to Norway for exercise

The U.S. is sending four F-15E fighters and a KC-135 Stratotanker to Norway to participate in an exercise..
The planes will take part in the Nordic Defence Cooperation, a regularly scheduled exercise that was planned before Russia’s annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea region at the end of February.
The F-15s will go to Bodo Main Air Station in Norway to work with the air forces from Norway, Finland and Sweden.
The threat of Russian expansionism has prompted both Sweden and Finland to consider becoming NATO permanent members, which already includes Norway.
