AWACS stands for Airborne Warning and Control System – an airborne radar and command system used to monitor airspace, track aircraft, and coordinate military operations from the sky. The aircraft behind the system is the powerful Boeing E-3 Sentry, based on a modified Boeing 707. Its most striking feature is the large rotating radar dome mounted on top, a flying eye with a range of over 400 kilometers. AWACS is used by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and others, and plays a crucial role in both defense and coordination of aerial operations.
During Flygfesten in Dala-Järna, we’re honored to welcome this technological marvel for a rare fly-by on Sunday!

Finn Terje Skyrud and Lars Ness are flying the Bücker Bü 131 Jungmann at the Flygfesten air show, a German training aircraft developed during the 1930s.
The aircraft was built using a combination of steel, wood, and fabric. Test flights revealed excellent performance, and it became popular both with civilian flight schools and in the German air force, the Luftwaffe. The model was also exported to countries such as Hungary and Romania, and was license-built in places like Switzerland and Japan.
During World War II, the plane was used not only for training but also in night raids against Soviet forces, as it could carry small bombs weighing 1–2 kilograms. Despite the war, many examples survived, and production continued – as late as the 1950s, the model was still being produced in Czechoslovakia under the designation C.4.

Now we continue our journey, with Västerås as our new base.
