Fighter pilots from seven allied countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Spain, Czech Republic, Greece, Poland and Italy, completed the NATO Tactical Leadership Programme, Oct. 9, in Albacete, Spain.

Six F-15C Eagles and more than 100 personnel from the 48th Fighter Wing at Royal Air Force Lakenheath, England, contributed to the program.

"I think it's important for our graduates to be well versed in the capabilities of NATO partners," said U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. John Stratton, 493rd Fighter Squadron commander.
