PeeDee don’t know about the camera, but I bet it’s got am I.S. lense on it though.I seriously do not think that both aircraft were that close, a medium telephoto would probably have been used, however stunning photo.

Lincoln. 7

You are very close, the lens is 55 mm x 1,6 (my ol’ Canon 40D with 17-55/2.8 IS – really any need to be jealous?). Shot from a KC-135 during refuelling.

Oh, and thanks everyone for your kind words, you make my day! 🙂

The Swedish Phantom is a “could have been”.

In the early 1960ies the Phantom was considered as an alternative to the Viggen programme.

In fact it was considered the best foreign contender, but in the end, the Swedish fighter was more suited for the nation’s needs.

Hello Daniel,

Question: has the Hkp4 / KV-107 /CH-46 finally been retired from Swedish military service, or are there still some examples operational?

One example has been rarely flown for various tests during the last years. It is due to be retired and placed at the Aeroseum this summer.

The rest of the HKP 4 fleet has been mothballed awaiting decisions regarding the future of the Swedish Armed Forces heavy helicopters. It is more and more likely that they will be retired for good.

I can read enough for this to look rather enticing. Any idea from where I can buy it? I haven’t done a search yet.

Contact the publisher Svensk Flyghistorisk Förening (Swedish Aviation Historical Society)

Great book.

Which aviation magazine had the article about the Jaguar pilot from Coltishall on exchange in Sweden flying the Viggen low, but in the standard Swedish Air Force understanding of the term – 3m not 60m!:D Flying through the fire breaks in the forest. What I would have given to ride in the 2nd seat!:diablo:

Aircraft magazine, January issue. 3 m would have been against the rules, but down to 15 m or so is still low (specially considering the tall Swedish pine trees!)

And yes, the backseat is pretty neat :p

Best looking? Gripen or Draken – can’t choose. Viggen is the Beast.

And where in the world can you see the SAABs flying? At the Gothenburg Aero Show in August 🙂

Can you inform us on the identity of this aircraft: former Swedish AF regi, and maybe future civil regi???
MTIA

Aerovet

The aircraft type (Do 27A-4) was called Fpl 53 when in service with the Swedish Army (not Air Force) 1962-1991. See more here

This particular example is no 53271, callsign “81”. Dornier c/n 2099 and built in 1961.

Future flying is likely to be on the Swedish civil experimental register.

In these days of financial crisis I guess I better drop by and spend some of the wealth we Norwegian oil barons pump up every day, just to help out our less fortunate neighbors… 😉

Some photos from the new display “in the rock”, Aeroseum in Gothenburg.

The display is set in one of the ammunition caves inside the underground hangar.
