Danish fighter pilot logs 4,000 flight hours

Danish fighter pilot Thomas “MET” Kristensen has logged over 4,000 hours in the cockpit, one of only a few Danish pilots to reach the milestone, DR reports.

Kristensen said he has seen every corner of Denmark from the air, and that this perspective is what he fought for during deployments with the Danish Defence as an F-16 pilot. He flew his final mission as Denmark phased out its F-16 fleet.

A documentary on his last week as a fighter pilot, Jagerpilotens sidste mission, is available on DRTV.
