Garbked voice text.

Rules of engagements were...
Switzerland seized pilots and aircraft and kept them there as a neutral country during world war two.

I wanted to know how switzerland acted when NATO aircraft Came in their air space when it wasn't an emergency.

I wanted to know if sweden was used to this happening and went along or was Sweden a bunch of jerks about it.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen I forgot i'm preaching to the choir. Now you can talk about it and no issues.

I know sweden couldn't catch a blackbird anyway, But in the case of the inflight emergency, How old the swedish government treat us normally? They helped that time, but had they helped before? Or could they be hostile?

LTC (Join to see) Sweeden was never a formal ally but supported the western cause. They passionately guarded their neutrality but would come to the aid of anyone in distress. After the fact it became up to the diplomats to iron out the details.
