"You have to be one unpopular world leader to have the Norwegians attacking you."
- On the attack on Khaddafi's compound by two Norwegian Air Force F-16s.
I'd be interested to see what these Norwegian fighter jocks flying for NATO look like. Could this be the first combat operations Norwegians have participated in since World War II? Norwegians are tough dudes; they used to be the Vikings who kicked British butt way before there was an empire.

Norway contributed military as far as I know, both in the first and second Gulf War, and we are still active in Afghanistan. We also attended with army and air force in Bosnia and Kosovo.
However we are for the most part not tough anymore. Little left of the old viking spirit...
By the way, if you wonder what they look like search for "jagerpilotene" (the Fighter Pilotes) on youtube. It's a Norwegian television series.
This one is good too...:-)
