Thank heaven for the Royal Danish Air Force!

The majority of the world's population is probably ignorant of the fact that the European Team-Handball Championships is presently underway in Norway. They are in fact most likely completely ignorant of the existence of the sport, and probably think of handball as a game played against a wall.

The Royal Danish Air Force, however, is well aware of the events underway in Norway and have manned their battle stations (OK, OK 'battle stations' is a Navy expression, but since i don't know what the Air Force mans (or if they in fact man anything at all), I'll call it battle stations).

According to this article in the Danish newspaper Politiken, the Danish Air Force is ready to send two F-16 fighter jets to escort the chartered plane that will fly the Danish team home, if Denmark is able to progress from the semi-final tomorrow against Germany and win the final on Sunday.

We can all rest assured tonight!
