Stoltenberg flew the fighter jet during a visit to the Laage air base in northern Germany, where the 73rd Tactical Air Wing of the German Air Force is stationed.
The Secretary-General called the flight “a great experience”, emphasizing the importance of Laage Air Base for NATO “because it trains the best pilots in the world and supports various air policing missions, which is important in a more complex security environment”.
