A bit of trivia for my British friends: These aircraft fly for the Norwegian 332 squadron. 331 AND 332 Squadron of the RAF during WW2 were designated Norwegian Sqdns. Both flew Spitfires both as fighter bombers and air superiority fighters from the UK from 1942 to the Normandie landing. Later they also flew cover for the freeing of the Netherlands and France on the continent. With gifted Spitfires post-WW2, the Norwegian Royal Air Force decided to honour their history under RAF command by instilling both 331 and 332 squads under the RNoAF. These Norwegian squadrons have since been set up with F-84 Thunderjet, North American F-86 Sabre, RF-5 Freedom Fighter and from 1980 the F-16 Fighting Falcon before the F35 went operational in 2022. Thus it has a rich history while honoring the war times flying for the allies under RAF command since 1942. Thus, Norway as a founding co-founder of NATO with the UK, US and friends has since then always flown US jetfighters - with squadron numbers honouring their RAF origins. The 331 squadron is currently disbanded (from 2022 when the F16 went out of service), but will also reappear later this year or early next year when we get our second F-35 squadron fully operational. Thus Norway again will fly both WW2 RAF squadrons. As a Norwegian, I very much appreciate this legacy and hope that some other fans of military aviation also enjoy this little drop of trivia about deep history between very old friends.
Thank you Ted & Nikos for a wonderful day out . A great selection of aircraft to look at and what great displays by the pilots . And such a busy day. Have a good time in the Lakes I don't live very far f from there. Anyway do enjoy your trip. Looking out of the window the weather looks good for you.
A day of note from last friday F35 by the dozen. Ohh yeahhh. Norwegian F35s came out too play. Plus the formidable F15 strike eagle. All sounding Cooaaarrrr! I do love standing there watching, feeling those re-heats going off. What an afternoon of mayhem. 48FW did us proud. Them take off's into quick climbs with 2 in shot are magnificent. One of my favourite shots of all. It never stopped. Look at them 6:30!! Itching to take off.. Your camera work is brilliant Nikos! Ted brought it for us. Luck of the Ted! Wont forget the day in a hurry!! Smiling all the way home oii oii
great video! i loved watching them climb so fast! my family has a cabin in ørland, right next to the airfield, so they come in for landing almost right above our cabins and its fan-frickin-tastic! :D perfect for "birdwatchers".. i can stand and watch for hours as they fly.
I'm glad that Norway is flying the F-35! But, I'd be just as happy if they were flying your Typhoons! I've always liked the Scandinavian countries, but I like the UK as well!! As an American, we need to cover each other's backs, in world affairs! Anyway...great video brother! Oiii Oiii! Just wondering...what does Oiii Oiii mean? I seriously don't know!
Yeah ... I think the reason we bought the F-35 where of politics but that said ... they are cool planes, but from where they have their base in Norway they hardly can reach northen norways borders to intercept russian planes, but I understand they have made a fob further north. Earlier this year we saw 2 F-35 do a flyover our town here in Northen norway (I live north east in Finnmark at the coast) ... was cool to see tough.
Oiiii oiiii 🤙🏼 yes brother, this is how we greet each other on the channel/squadron “oiiii oiiii” (you can add as many i’s for emphasis). Glad you enjoyed
Awesome!!! I would love to see the F35A fly again at an airshow here in the UK. 2017 or 2018 I think it was, I saw one fly at RIAT. It flew with Comanche fighters P51D Hun Hunter Texas & desert camo Spitfire based at Duxford
I’m from Honolulu. We have 6 F-35’s visiting. 2 are from VMFA 242 Iwakuni and 4 others are based out of Yuma Arizona. Our main fighters are F-22 Raptors.
In addition to the parachute hump, you can also clearly see the Norwegian insignia "triple wedge" on their tails. It used to be in red white and blue (the Norwegian flag colours on the F-16, but befitting a stealth aircraft it is now low contrast grey on grey.
This is based on the F35A. Norway has a modification which includes a drag chute pod. Due to the icy cold climate conditions in Norway, the drag chute can assist the aircraft to come to a full stop. The F35 doesn’t have an air brake so the drag chute addition can help with this. 🇳🇴
Yes, so this is a modified F35A and the modification is the drag chute pod. Due to climate of Norway, these F35s have a chute pod so that it may assist with coming to a full stop in Icy and extreme conditions.
This is Ruben,AKA David ✌️✌️👍👍✝️🛐🙏❤️🌎😇🧸AMEN!!! Is it to much to ask if My Favorite Teddy Bear 🧸can fly in the WORLDS Best Fighter JET, the F35???!!! 🙏🤩🧸
Norway was the first European country to receive the F-35. The Netherland the second country and Denmark the third, or was that Italy, where the F-35 is manufactured for a Europe.
The answer is here on UA-cam, The first four F-35's to land on Danish soil arrived seven hours ago! Ofcourse, Danish F-35's are already taking part in the test & evaluation squadron in the U.S.
Good Lads, the Norwegians 🇳🇴 👍 🇬🇧
Oohh yeah 🇳🇴

Love to see it
Oohh yeah 🇳🇴
Do we get to see them land with parachutes? Awesome!
The parachutes are only being used during winter condition under "icy" condition. Just like it is during winter in Norway 😉.
great video! i loved watching them climb so fast! my family has a cabin in ørland, right next to the airfield, so they come in for landing almost right above our cabins and its fan-frickin-tastic! :D perfect for "birdwatchers".. i can stand and watch for hours as they fly.
Oii oiii thank you
Congratulations on getting to 29K Nikos and Ted keep up the great work I absolutely love the videos 🎉🎊🎉🎵🎶🎵🎶👍👍👍

@@TedConingsby All F-35B’s though no C’s
How do you know that they are Norway F/35s I was looking for the markings on them but couldn’t find them great as always Nikos & Ted
You can tell by the unique drag shute pod they have on their back.
There is a hump/fin on the back towards the engine. You’ll also see the markings on the tail too 🇳🇴
In addition to the parachute hump, you can also clearly see the Norwegian insignia "triple wedge" on their tails. It used to be in red white and blue (the Norwegian flag colours on the F-16, but befitting a stealth aircraft it is now low contrast grey on grey.
Such a pity that the E E Lightning is no longer flying, as I'd love to see a QC comparison.
Hey all, I haven’t read all the chat yet, but which variant of the f-35 is this? I’ve not see one with the hump in the back.
This is based on the F35A. Norway has a modification which includes a drag chute pod. Due to the icy cold climate conditions in Norway, the drag chute can assist the aircraft to come to a full stop. The F35 doesn’t have an air brake so the drag chute addition can help with this. 🇳🇴
such an amazing day fweeeeeeep
Ooohhh yeah
Ja, takk! 😂
This is Ruben,✌️✌️👍👍✝️🛐🙏❤️🌎😇🧸💪AMEN!!! Can you imagine, The Entire UN, With these Best Fighter JETS!!!😎
⚡️⚡️💪💪
Ooohh yeah
Notice the hump on these Norwegian F35's? Only they have this. Top secret function.
Yes, so this is a modified F35A and the modification is the drag chute pod. Due to climate of Norway, these F35s have a chute pod so that it may assist with coming to a full stop in Icy and extreme conditions.
@@TedConingsby Got ya. Thx
Thanks for the info. Came to the comments to ask about that too.
@@TedConingsby Yeah we had that on our F-16's too, they where on the tail on those.
Is that a rabbit or a hare at 1:38?
You get a few Hares at Lakenheath. Sometimes run across the taxiway
@@TedConingsby Thanks!
Hi Nikos, knowing that Ted Coningsby is really your work, I still would like to donate. I can only do that through PayPal. Cheers, Meerten
Oii oiii Meerten 🤙🏼thanks so much for supporting the channel. Please contact us via email or social media for details 🤙🏼
Talley Ho!

NATO oh hell ya
🇬🇧 🇳🇴
Norway was the first European country to receive the F-35. The Netherland the second country and Denmark the third, or was that Italy, where the F-35 is manufactured for a Europe.
Denmark has just received its first batch of 4 F35A's awesome ⚡️⚡️🔥💪💪
Stuart, you mean today? Sorry, my mistake then.
The answer is here on UA-cam, The first four F-35's to land on Danish soil arrived seven hours ago! Ofcourse, Danish F-35's are already taking part in the test & evaluation squadron in the U.S.
By the way, ofcourse the UK got it's F-35's a long time ago. Sorry.
Norway received their first operational F-35s in 2017
The RAF received its first operational F35s in 2018 with 617 Sqn.
Thanks Meerten
Awesome ❤
Ooohh yeah
