Norweigen's Pilot's eye

Nothing escapes a pilot’s eye. In preparation for a training sortie, Norwegian pilot Maj. Erik Brettingen conducts a pre-flight check of his Fighting Falcon at the 162nd Wing at the Tucson International Airport. In addition to being an exchange officer here at the wing, Brettingen is also the commander for the Norwegian attachment. Beginning this year, student-pilots from the Scandinavian country will receive additional instruction in critical areas, such as Night Vision Goggles (NVG) training – representing a milestone in their now 18 year association with the 162nd Wing’s F-16 Schoolhouse.

Norweigen NVG Goggles

Pilots don’t choose the time of day they are put in harm’s way. Thus, Maj. Erik Brettingen, a Norwegian exchange officer at the 162nd Wing, familiarizes himself with Night Vision Goggles (NVG). Brettingen, who also serves as a flight commander for Norwegian student-pilots at the F-16 Schoolhouse, said that although NVGs do “not turn night into day,” the pilot is able to detect threats and targets and stay in formation in an operational environment during the night.
