Sweden, Linköping airshow 2012-06-02/03

Some pics from the Linköping airshow, celebrating 75 years of SAAB, and 100 years of aviation in Sweden. The weather was terrible, with strong winds, rain and low temperatures. The strong wind prevented some of the lighter aircraft from participating. The first day was rather chaotic .The Tunnan suffered a tire explosion during landing. A paratrooper was carried by the wind and landed in a tree. The Viggen had some kind of hydraulic problem and couldn’t take off. Luckily all this was rectified the next day. 🙂

Hope you all enjoy the pics! Warning, they are large!
