In Britain, normally 'Special Air Service', but f you click here, that will link you to a web-page which offers over 100 other possibilities.
Also (although its probably on the list), it happens to be the Special Air Services's Tactics as well: Speed, Aggression, Suprise.
Funny name for the airline which flies in and out of Finland, Norway and Sweden!
As Quizmonster says this is what Brits would usually be referring to. As an aside, it was called Special Air Service to confuse enemy intelligence (unit formed during WWII) as the SAS has precious little to do with flying.
In face, rekstout, the Special Air Service was originally planned to parachute behind enemy lines to do their dirty work, but the first operational parachute drop was a disaster because of a strong wind. So they changed to going in at ground level, originally with modified armed jeeps. Today they probably have the expertise to go in any way they choose.
The airline is Scandinavian Airlines System, based in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is the national airline of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Finland is not considered as a Scandinavian country but a Nordic one and has its own national airline, Finnair.
Depends on where you are from... Might be San Antonio Shoes ... is a Nationwide chain and all stores have simply a sign that reads "SAS" out front ;)
