My favorite aircraft right here. You better believe I've got plenty of pictures of the B-1Bs over Norway.

Turkish F-16s. If anyone wants to cross post these to PDF, feel free. Just give credit to the Queen for the awesome shots.

JAS-39s are killer too.

Someone tell Turkey to please stop polluting our air.

Swanky.

Stop being cold, this is Norway sucker! It's always cold here.

So yeah, there's a good reason MDK is on duty, and no, it's not to look good on the beach for killer moonlight shots. It's this. That's a WWII era mine that was just found during counter-mining drills.

Bodø's a very picturesque airbase.
