The Gothenburg Airshow took place at Gothenburg City Airport in Sweden on August 30-31 2008.
It was a nice airshow althought you were facing the sun most of the day which made it difficult to make good pictures.
My main reason for going was to see the old Swedish military jets, unfortunately the Draken had to cancel because of technical problems.
Last year the airshow had almost exclusively Swedish participants but this year there should be more foreign participants as well.
Comments are more than welcome.
