Gothenbug Airshow 2008
I couldn't find a topic about this event so I thought I would start one.
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.

Never knew the Lansen has a windscreen-whiper
Great shots, esp. the head-ons

Absolutely like the camouflaged rotor blades of the Hkp 4.

Wow, I should visit Sweden more often I see. Very nice pics. Like all the Swedish classics.
I always say a boy can learn more at an airport than at any school.
