Can it fly ??

Denmark’s top guns trump RAF in Libya

Denmark’s top guns trump RAF in Libya

Denmark’s armed forces have had almost as much success in Libya as the RAF and the Royal Navy, The Times can reveal. A strike force of four Danish jets has hit almost as many targets in Libya as all of Britain’s much larger contingent of warplanes and ships.

Barely a week after Admiral Lord West of Spithead, a former First Sea Lord, said government cuts could leave Britain looking like “bloody Denmark”, a senior Danish pilot described his role in a campaign that, according to defence sources, had the country’s F16 jets fly up to eight combat sorties per day — easily one of the highest rates of the Nato-led coalition.

“At the beginning you really did not know what to expect,” said the Danish pilot, call-sign MIR. “Every time you see the Libyan coastline you know that you are getting close to a threat and you start to be a lot more alert.”

Denmark was one of the first countries to take part in the UN-mandated operation against the Gaddafi regime. The nation also has more than 700 soldiers deployed alongside British troops in Afghanistan, and fought in the Iraq war.

Denmark’s six F16 jets — two are kept in reserve — have hit 913 targets since the campaign began in March. Britain’s 16 Tornado jets, four Typhoon fighters and a unit of Apache attack helicopters, as well as at least two Royal Navy warships, hit 970.

Lord West, a security minister in the previous Government, was forced to apologise after he told a press conference last week that Britain was still a first-rate military power, “not like bloody Denmark or Belgium”.

Perhaps this is the right place to remind everyone that here at the Aeroseum Gothenburg is probably the only place in the world where you can climb into the cockpits of a Viggen and a Draken. I must confess that I am a guide in the Aeroseum, and a PM to me could well result in a personal guided tour.

Except for “Teknisk museum” in Helsingoere, Denmark. And a lot of other places in Denmark. In Roskilde one is used as a simulator (the whole plane moves when u use it).
