https://tube.home.franssen.xyz/videos/watch/04c9353a-0e6a-4985-8325-ebde8ec28d4f For Spanish Air Force Captain Antonio Cifuentes, the power of flight wasn’t something given – it was something earned, sometimes with trepidation. In his years of service since, he’s never regretted learning to fly the F/A-18 Hornet, which he calls una bestia – his “beast” of an aircraft. Deployed to Lithuania as part of NATO’s Baltic Air Policing mission in May 2020, Cifuentes talks about the challenge and pleasure of flying. To safeguard against COVID-19, videographers were tested prior to filming, wore masks and practice social distancing wherever possible. Footage includes an interview with Captain Cifuentes and shots of Spanish Air Force F/A-18 Hornet fighters, including those piloted by Captain Cifuentes, flying from Šiauliai Air Base in Lithuania. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ SUBSCRIBE to this channel http://bit.ly/NATOsubscribe SUBSCRIBE to NATO News http://bit.ly/NATONewsSubscribe SUBSCRIBE to NATO History http://bit.ly/NATOHistorySubscribe Connect with NATO online: Visit the Official NATO Homepage: http://bit.ly/NATOhomepage Receive NATO updates via email: http://bit.ly/NATOemails Find NATO on FACEBOOK: http://bit.ly/NATOfacebook Follow @NATO on TWITTER: http://bit.ly/NATOtwitter Follow NATO on Instagram: http://bit.ly/NATOinstagram Find NATO on LinkedIn: http://bit.ly/NATOlinkedin Find NATO on Flickr: http://bit.ly/NATOflickr #NATO #OTAN #WeAreNATO Tue, 09 Jun 2026 08:04:10 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tube.home.franssen.xyz https://tube.home.franssen.xyz/client/assets/images/icons/icon-1500x1500.png https://tube.home.franssen.xyz/videos/watch/04c9353a-0e6a-4985-8325-ebde8ec28d4f All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tube.home.franssen.xyz/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
