Historia
Como miembro fundador de la OTAN, Noruega compartía una frontera norte directa con la Unión Soviética durante la Guerra Fría. Para proteger esta vasta frontera ártica contra los bombarderos de largo alcance, la Real Fuerza Aérea Noruega adquirió los interceptores a reacción F-86K Sabre.
El F-86K estaba equipado con un radomo en su nariz, lo que brindaba a los pilotos capacidad de seguimiento por radar durante la noche y entre nubes densas. Estos aviones mantuvieron un estado de alerta desde bases en el norte, interceptando aeronaves desconocidas y patrullando el Mar de Noruega hasta ser reemplazados por aviones supersónicos más modernos.
