Three Swedish Jas Gripen aircraft crossed the border Monday afternoon to participate in a joint exercise with the Norwegian Air Force in an area of Nordland county in northern Norway, the Norwegian public broadcaster NRK reported. "We are opening the border between the countries in this cooperation, and in this way we cut costs," Swedish Air Force Major Karl-Johan Edstroem was quoted as saying. "Earlier, we needed consent from both the Norwegian and Swedish governments each time we crossed the border. Now all that is needed is for me and my counterpart in Norway to agree before we carry out the exercise," Edstroem added. Norway is a member of NATO while Sweden is a military non-aligned country. http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-04/30/content_8084197.htm [/quote][/quote]
