I
came across this airshow purely by chance, having read about a previous
one on a website. It is only organised about every three years. As I had
long planned a visit to the Swedish Air Force museum, here was a chance
to add something to the trip to Sweden. |

Friday |
|
|
|
|
The
airshow was to take place during three days, with the first action
taking place on Friday evening at 19:00. Most airshows would long have
finished at that time, but in the northern part of Sweden it is still
bright. By that time the hot summer weather had changed, the temperature
dropped markedly and there were strong winds blowing. Due to this, some
of the program points had to be cancelled. There was still enough flying
however. As I had guessed, many participants are not usually seen
outside of Scandinavia. |

Nightflight |

The
laser and pyrotechnics only featured on Friday evening. Now this was
something new, fireworks fired off from aircraft. The aircraft used for
this display varied from gliders to the tiny Thorp 18 or the massive
converted Grumman AGcat used by Scandinavian airshows. |

Air Force Participation |
|
|
|
|
The
Hercules called TP84 in Swedish service only flew on Friday, while the
JAS 39 Gripen from F 21 was to appear on all three days. The Saab 105 or
SK60 from the flying school at Malmen only flew on Saturday. |

Warbirds |
|
|
|
|
 |
There
were a good number of aircraft in this group. Some like the Yak, the
Fieseler Storch, the Mustang or the Fokker DVII have been visiting other
airshows further south already. Others like the Tiger Moths or the Norseman
seem to be confined to Scandinavia. Even the Douglas DC-3 called Congo Queen
I had never seen before. |

Historic Flight |
|
|
|
|
This
was of course the part of the program that promised to be the most
interesting with aircraft like the Saab 29 Tunnan or the Saab 17 dive
bomber. Alas, the Saab 17 and 29 didn’t appear. The Tunnan being planned
for Sunday only was prevented by the bad weather, while the Saab 17
didn’t show up without any reason given. According to other
photographers, it seems to be an elusive bird that hasn’t been seen for
quite a while.
At least on Saturday the
Vampire Trainer and the Saab Draken did fly. Also the tiny HKP5
helicopters took part in the flying display. |
