Timothy J. Keating, NORAD commander. Khvorov and Keating discussed the potential for future NORAD-Russian training exercises. In Keating’s words, “Visits of this nature are very important for building stronger relationships between us and our allies.” Khyorov also got treated to a tour of Cheyenne Mountain. It is a new world.
