Two times in six years. The Norwegian AF needs to be grounded.

I’d say the squad manning the tower are damn lucky they weren’t Swiss-cheesed.

“Two F-16s were taking part in a mock attack on the uninhabited island...”

Umm, if you are using live ammo, it’s not a “mock attack”!

Maverick: Tower, this is Ghost Rider requesting a flyby. Air Boss Johnson: Negative, Ghost Rider, the pattern is full.
Maverick: Okay, in that case ....

They never address the most pertinent question: Why?

BenLurkin :" A hail of bullets hit the tower in the incident, which happened on the night of April 12, but the officers inside were not injured."

They need more time at the practice range !
especially if NATO forces are outnubered, outgunned ,and outranged !

“Uninhabited island”

My guess is they hit the “spotting” tower.

Probably Air Force personnel in it to tell the pilots where the bombs and bullets are hitting.

"Two F-16s were taking part in a mock attack on the uninhabited island of Tarva off Norway’s west coast when one of them opened fire with its M61 Vulcan cannon..."

If the "author" had a passing association with 2nd grade English, he might note that f16s are piloted by...pilots...and that they might have played some small role...

Now, using a cannon against the control tower...just use the American cop testi-lies: The control tower was running at me! I feared for my life!!

This is my aircraft, this is the gun.

This is for flying, this is for fun.
