Sweden, The Old and the New
Hi all,
These are a selection of photo’s taken from a 4 day visit to Sweden earlier this week. The visit was to coincide with the airshow at Linkoping-Malmen as well as a trip up to Satenas, home of the Grippen training wing, also home to Sweden’s C-130’s and a handful of Saab SK60’s.
First up, the photo’s from Malmen, where I was hoping to see the Draken fly at the 3rd time of asking this year! This time I got lucky……
After leaving Linkoping it was onto Satenas via a late night stop at Grastorp for this Viggen…..
Finally , the shots from Satenas. Plenty of action from the based Grippens over 2 days including a practice flypast involving 20 Grippens……..
And finally, as I’ve just seen it’s has been confirmed as flying at Yeovilton this year, a taster of the Danish F-16 demo taken the week before….
Thanks for looking,
Kevin

Re: Sweden, The Old and the New
Only one comment ? A set like this deserves better than that . Well done again Kev .
Re: Sweden, The Old and the New
Fantastic shots...all look great but love the older jets.
Re: Sweden, The Old and the New
Superb photos Kevin!
Judging from the light in the Malmen photos and the take-offs, I assume that you were standing at "the other side" of the field from the main crowd? Nice to see such good shots of Draken.

Great shots. I love those Drakens. Hope to see one flying in one of the airshows in the future.

I don't get to comment much on photo threads nowadays but there are some simply gorgeous shots here, love the close-in Gripen pair landing in particular. Draken shots are great as well. Great stuff!

Superb, Kevin. Numbers 3, 4, 7, 12, 15, 19, 22 & 24 get my vote. The Draken top-side is a very well deserved photo of the week!

Hi Bjorn, if you look at your Lansen take off shot, I think that is me in the jetwash at the end of the visable road!
Thanks for the comments everyone,
