Despite the not so very summer-like weather

, it was a great weekend! Well-organised show, and relaxed attitude towards the public. Staying late was no problem. Neither was going, looking and shooting anywhere not fenced-off.
And certainly kudos to the Swedes for their policy of "That type is retired? Let's fly it!".
It was only my second time to Sweden, 28 years after catching an F28 to Ronneby with Scramble...
While the flying retired types of aircraft were my main goal for the show, I returned with a huge load of pleasing shots and a nice bag of numbers. Speaking of those, good catch on the Hkp-3s, Lucien & co! And Elmer, I like the panning there.
My contribution consists of the types that appeal most to me, plus a few interesting scenes. It's still quite a load, I hope you don't mind.
1. Saturday morning, blue skies.
2. Still able to see what I saw in 1984!
3.
4. The Finnish completing their morning display.
5. SAAB B17, bit like a Swedish Avenger.
6. Flying Tunnan! And what a sound.
7.
8. This scene could be fifty years old by the looks of it.
9. The Lansen is a big fighter.
10.
11. The near-unearthly Draken!
12.
13.
14. There may be one more than you think here.
15. Good-lookin' helo.
16. Obviously a star: the enigmatic Viggen.
17. Oh YES.
18.
19. It pays to stay late, in this case for some exquisite vintage action.
20. But eventually all have to go home. I found this scene of presumably a father and his daughter somewhat touching.
Thanks for viewing,
