That last one should really be POTW, it's everything a guy wants for a fast jet ride in one! Love the P-3 and the Sea King shot!

One of the best posts ever!! Excellent stuff - too many to comment on but the Albatross, Dak, Boxcar, Sabre dog and Thunderflash are way up there. So glad the F-5s and '104s didn't go green.. Superb stuff sir.

Wowzers!

Fantastic shots. The P-3 is brilliant and that silver twin otter

[agdickie]

[Westy]

Great post

[Cimmerian]

What a great post. Some really nice pictures there (and on the site.) Thanks for sharing.

[Macc]

These are very special, superb shots! Shiny Starfighter for me!

[Mad Dan]

Is that the People's Mosquito I see? Or is it just Norwegian Wood...

(Wouldn't mind seeing the Junkers 52 that's visible in the background of the Texan shot)

[NordicAirpower]

Thanks guys for all your nice words - very much appreciated

Regards Jan

To many nice shots/aircraft there, Love that Silver Twin Otter!

[capercaillie]

Great stuff, drab green F-5 is unusual and like the floating Otter

[ciaranchef]

simply superb.....

[SPLAT]

love the P3 popping flares and the Seaking almost whiting out

[Agg]

So glad the F-5s and '104s didn't go green..

The 104s operated by 334sqn were green, the ones operated by 331sqn were grey/silver.

Fantastic post by the way!

Fantastic pictures! Really like the Sea King in the snow and the Orion flare release is very spectacular aswell.

Congratualtions Jan and I am pleased to be able to contribute to this book. This completes a series of books on Nordic Air power with Swedish and Danish Air forces books already published and all with superb photography. On to the Finnish one now Jan, eh?

[NordicAirpower]

And yes, the Ilmavoimat is next ;o)

All the best

Terrific! The otter on floats is especially nice - but all are superb
