DANISH FROM PAGE 18 Pilots from all around the world participate in the F-35 training program. Royal Danish Air Force Lt. Col. Nick “Kin” Hansen, 308th FS senior national representative, mentions the importance of building relationships between allied countries. “We have to be able to operate together with different nations in the fifth-generation Air Force,” Kin says. “When we have to go in to fight war together, we find comfort knowing we’ve gone through training from the same place.” Luke is training fighter pilots from many countries, such as Italy, Netherlands, Norway and Singapore. “It’s truly remarkable to come into a fighter squadron in which a U.S. pilot might fly a Danish jet alongside a Dutch pilot flying a U.S. jet,” Cisar says. “It shows all the work that’s gone into the F-35 program, the partnerships and how much we rely on each other to get the mission done.” The F-35 training program is designed to integrate pilots, foreign and domestic, into a common set of tactics and advanced technologies, enabling them to execute the mission as one unit.
