I like the fjords .. ... great scenery. Seeing the high cliffs suddenly appear out of the gloom and mist is pretty neat.

One thing about Russian aricraft.  I know someone who served in the Israeli military, and she told me that they weren't fond of anything Russian-made.

Doesn't mean us simmers can't enjoy them though ;D

In fact I have'nt been much of a fan of Russian aircraft myself in the past.

I've heard the problem isn't design per se, but inconsistent quality of manufacture.  For example, the Mig 15 was far superior to the F 86, but some Migs were not built as well as others...
