Except Saturdays and Sunday's airshow Johan Gustafsson flies on Friday evening airshow with his SZD-59 ACRO. Johan has become famous around the world for his outstanding glider aerobatic airshows. You will see a very nice evening airshow performance by Johan in Dala-Järna which also is his home base. Johan is two time world champion in Advanced Glider aerobatics.

After Friday's spectacular evening air show, CCriders attends and offers an evening with varied repertoire with all the best from the 60's and 70's to much more modern songs.

The Air Force Museum Helicopters from Linköping will participate with two HKP-5. HKP-5 was the Air Force main training helicopter from the mid 1980s until the late 1990s, when this helicopter system was discontinued.

The HKP-5 is very maneuverable due to its small size and can be tactically operated in low altitudes and using the terrain to avoid detection. The rotor diameter and the length also cause the helicopter to land on small surfaces
