Weekend Linköping Airshow

[Flygvapnet_Viggen]

Hej all!

Was in Linköping the second weekend of June for Airshow of the Swedish Airforce. Spent the Saturday outside the fence to witness a few flights and rehearsals, Sunday was the airshow which I also viewed from outside because of the backlight one had from onside the base. Monday I spent the day at Linköping-SAAB field as all participants already departed the Sunday evening. Expect for the Draken, but I didnt feel like getting up for only that one, besides I saw it the days before.
A nice range of Swedish planes and helicopters, with changing weather circumstances.
Thanx to my English colleagues for the company (and the beer Kev)! May we meet at Göteborg (Gothenburg) again!!

That one is fantastic...and so is a dozen or so other ones. You said you hoped they were not too many....Personally I was disappointed to find that I got to the bottom of your post. With this quality, feel free to post more.

Thanks for the praising comments so far! I try my best to show something worthwhile

@Pieter: no there was no spotters/press day, I just spent the time outside the field, at the fence. Without any problems!
