Denmarks' F-16 replacement competition was very much represented - Typhoon (4 present), Super Hornet (2 present) Gripen ( 4 present) and F-35 (plastic mock up present (!)) The German test pilot display was the best I've seen......

Boeing sent the same 2 Super Bugs as seen at other events and treated us to two displays, one from each jet and were of a much higher quality than those in the UK. Such a pity with so many tasty painted birds to choose from they sent unmarked and very lo-viz examples.

The F/A-18Fs were dragged over the pond by the Omega Tanker
Static featured pretty much all of the Danish inventory representatives, assorted international and a plethora of light and vintage types..

So good to see 3 Drakens present (2 are on gate guard duties too)
9.
2 Hawks and 2 Typhoons represented the RAF on static

Pity these have lost their Army camo now they have come under Air Force operation.

Look carefully, this is the 20000hrs Danish EH101 flight hours marked machine..

Scandinavian shows seem to attract all their neighbours, Norg Falcon in stealthy black uniform

The Finns rocked the joint with a cracking legacy Hornet display, flares and all..

Quite a few historic types were on static including this Lim-2
25.
Several visiting VIP a/c were parked far side and departed later including this Czech L410

The flying was opened and closed by the home team formation..

Belgian Red Devils

Polish Iskry

And the Reds closed the show in fine style
43.
The second half of the show upped a gear with modern military solos and some nicely flown Danish role demos.
Pity the excellent HEER Bo105 display doesn't get about more, with some well flown aerobatics..
44.
The home team helos were excellent value flying solos, assault and security demos and traffic patrols throughout the day and it was great to see a Danish Lynx in action..

9 F-16s flew an immaculate diamond and a short but effective airfield attack.
51.
52.
The Danes also provided the only F-16 display, not as fluid as many but worth it just for the blistering final high speed pass and zoom climb!

54.
A Herc flew a tidy solo, culminating in a tremendous flare shower..
