As the US voted in the presidential elections on Nov. 5, several long-range B-52 strategic bombers from Barksdale #USAF base in Louisiana were deployed to Europe.

One of them conducted a training mission over northern Finland - NATO Air Command reported with a picture of a F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet flying in escort.

The path included northernmost Norway on the journey with no jets following the B-52 while inside our airspace.  

The B-52 aircraft was the 60-0008, one of 46 operative nuclear-capable bombers & since Norway is a nuclear-free country, one must assume it was not carrying a payload ? 🤔
