Couldn't agree more. It keeps them grounded. The same goes for politicians. They need real world experience among people in a career first and not just study politics at university or come from the world of PR.

Two Norwegian F-35 landed on a public road in Finland, quickly re-fueled while the engines were running and took off again. This is the first time any F-35 anywhere has done this and I thought only Swedish SAAB JAS 39 Grippen could use public roads as runways. I think the war in Ukraine has shown us how useful it can be to be able to decentralize the air force in wartime.
Yup! I know. We've been doing this road base thingy since the Winter war, although back then it was more common to fly from frozen lakes than from highways.

Naah... that's just a bunch of Swedish propaganda! They like to be soooo special!

Here's another one... Not quite Gripen ;) Could be Bond though!

The Swedes do like to brag about their "guerilla jet fighters", but I'm sure the Ukranians would love to get a squadron of JAS Grippens.
Five conscripts and an officer in two vehicles can refuel and service the plane on a motorway in the forrest, you know ....

We don't have many straight roads ... 😂
That's no way to think. You should not let yourself be restricted by external factors! 🤣

The captured Russian tank wasn't working - so the Ukrainian officer called tech support in Russia!
