As Bodø/Glimt secured victory in Norway's elite football league for the first time in history, the club received an honorary fighter jet escort from the country's air force, which maintains a large base in their home city.

In an unusual display, the Armed Forces' 331 Squadron, based in Bodø, northern Norway, celebrated the hometown team's victory by escorting the club's SAS plane home with F-16 fighter jets.

The Armed Forces train daily with their F-16 aircraft in fixed training areas from the base in Bodø. When Glimt were to fly home, they chose a slightly special training programme, Henning Homb, head of the Air Force's base in Bodø, explained.
