The third project in our Scandinavian tour was
going to be a real challenge, as we only had 1 single day to fly the photomissions…so
it had to be good weather! The forecast was promising, but in the week before
the event started to change like every day. |

The ferryflight with the Skyvan was made on
the Monday after we completed the departures of the Danish Air Force Airshow,
destination Trolhattan airport in Sweden. The weather was marginal with
low clouds….and a downpour of rain during the landing. Also the
cars driving over from Denmark to Sweden experienced seriously ‘non
flyable’ clouds and rain.
So you can imagine the happy smiles when on tuesdaymorning the skies
were bright blue, no haze and plenty of sunshine!! Exactly what we had
hoped for and what a start of one of the most epic days we have flown
so far. |

The idea: to see join-ups of the fantastic
aircraft of the Swedish Air Force Historic Flight, the magnificent and
ultra unique collection of Saab aircraft….dream big, so we wanted…all
of them ?
The reality: JUST THAT!!
Our corporation with Stellan Andersson and his team brought us a super
enjoyable day with 4 separate photoflights, in which all of that Swedish
classics were presented to the photographers in an absolutely incredible
way! And the Swedish scenery made each and every photo super special. |

Our friends of the Swedish Air Force joined the
Saab party on two of the flights, to fly a formation with the Tunnan and
the two Lansen. Where in the world could you see in just 1 day not one but
two Saab Draken in the air….and how about not one but two Viggen!! |

To end this exciting day we had a photoflight
with two wellknown non Saab trainers, but part of the Historic flight:
the Bulldog and Harvard. In the warm afternoonlight we could only see
superbig smiles and photographers fully satisfied after this iconic adventure.
We celebrated with ‘probably the best beer in the world’….ooh,
but isn’t that Danish ;) ?
Flying with the Swedish Air Force Historic Flight has been such a fantastic
experience, that we plan to come back in the 2019 season.
