I did not resist the sales and got a new toy.
My instructor (a retired Dutch fighter pilot) used to say that any landing from which I walk away is a good landing

[schurem]

Your english is flawless mate, as is your flying Quite unlike my horrible attempts at landing the mighty turkeybird. If it weren’t for direct lift control, I’d have struck the ramp on at least two occasions.

But I did manage to shoot down a seaskimmer missile with the gun!

Little bit of bjorking during the early morning hours. Mjolnir’d an HQ and tore it to pieces!

[komemiute]

Waaaay way too kind!

[komemiute]

Jesus, that thing caused the equivalent of a small nuke-worth of destruction!

[Franze]

They don’t call the BK90 Mjölnir for nothing!

[Victork2]

@Franze

Mjölnir

How is that word actually pronounced? @Troll?

[fearlessfrog]

I’ve heard it said out loud, and it’s pronounced as Mjölnir.

How to ACTUALLY pronounce names from Norse Mythology (Icelandic)

At the 04:30 minute mark.

[Troll]

@Victork2

How is that word actually pronounced?

Well, ”Mjölnir”

Or as ”Mjölner”.

Here’s a small video I just made with both pronounciations.

Mjölnir

bjorking

I thought she’s from Iceland?

[Hangar200]

My wife tells me that in Norway you don’t say Thor’s hammer but something that translates roughly “Thor with Hammer”

So…what is the name of Thor’s Lathe?

[Troll]

@Hangar200

Thor with Hammer

That’s right. According to Norse mythology, Tor never went anywhere without his hammer, Mjölnir.
In modern times it has actually spawned a childrens TV show, called ”Tor and his hammer”, where a carpenter named Tor, makes stuff with and for kids… Good show, actually.

@Hangar200

what is the name of Thor’s Lathe

”Svarvir”
To norsify any word, we just put a ”ir”, ”ur” or ”er” behind it.

[Franze]

@Hangar200

“Thor with Hammer”

Sounds like an old joke.

“What’s Thor doing over there with his hand?”
“He is with his… Hammer.”

I might be 1/4th Swedish but don’t ask me to understand the language!

[schurem]

Been getting my eagle on lately, just to get a feel for it. Listening to eagle month on the fighter pilot podcast, I just had to know what that machine is all about.

Whoa.

bit of training with my friend tonight. I figured out the LTD and the JDAM and smashed some stuff up which was very satisfying!!

we had some odd glitches and stuff like tyres blowing out randomly and hovering sidewinders!! plus we got to stare at @Wes and put him off his takeoff in the gorgeous 190! great fun!

[Franze]

Returning with @Wes after a anti-ship strike. We were testing the viability of the Viggen’s radar to pass targeting solutions to Bugs with Harpoons. It sort of worked but my RB-15s were faster than the Harpoons and all four missiles were overkill for the small Grisha that got hit.
