Major Jose Peltier and Lt. Col. Kevin Chaney, I believe this was your plane ?
Friday 28th February, members of the Saga Trail Association were invited by representative of Tourism in Keflavik community (Reykjanesbær), on a VIP sightseeing around the former Nato Base aria at Keflavik Airport.
When we were shown the bunker with this beautiful plane, I felt like I was taking part in "Top Gun", just waiting for a young version of Tom Cruse to join us :). At the conference we used a couple of hours to brainstorm about the possibilities that Reykjanesbær community has to make use of the old Nato Base Aria. We found these endless and exciting ….
Ragnheiður Elín Árnadóttir, Iceland's minister of Industry and Commerce, joined us and signed an agreement between Saga Trail and Inspired by Iceland.
Of course Ragnheiður got the first example of the silver Saga trail necklace, given to her by Sigurður Ingi from Sign.
Thanks to Vikingaheimar whom hosted us, and thanks to our hosts and guides from Reykjanesbær commune (Keflavík).
My name is Sigrun Guttormsdóttir Þormar. I live inBorgarfjord west Iceland, where I work as a project leader at the cultural medieval center Snorrastofa in Reykholt. For those that don't know, Reykholt was the home of Snorri Sturluson, medieval writer and poet whom lived in Reykholt from 1206 to 1241. He was the author of the Edda, Heimskringla (History of the kings of Norway) and Egils Saga Skallagrimsson. For me Snorri is the most amazing employer whom I proudly serve and constantly present in my every day life! He is absolutely still going strong at 835 years of age. Please come and visit us at www.snorrastofa.is. We are open all weekdays during the winter and all days during summer. We have an exhibition about Snorri Sturluson and offer lectures for groups. Hope to see you soon :)
