You need help Bjorn.

Have a good trip!

I was going to Turku but there was not much on the list so cancelled.

[Bjorn]

Thanks

No, the reasons for going is for me SAAB B17 with its new engine and Draken. Weather is not looking too good for sunday, so I'm having high hopes for tomorrows spotters event. Apron visits, display training and sunny forecast.

The Draken was great last year at Save. As was the Saab B17 the year before.

Hej Bjorn

How was the show?

Hej Bjorn

How was the show?

I enjoyed it a lot. Our hosts at F21 were very friendly and made the spotters day special. Better weather and flying than on sunday, and apron and hangar visits. Draken and the old Sk60 made some memorable displays. B 17 unfortunately had an oil leakage so it didn't show.
A photo report may appear on a forum near you Perhaps from others as well, I heard there were 40,000 visitors despite the fact that the event took place a very, very long way away...
