Flygande Veteraner and the DC-3 "Daisy" are coming to Flygfesten! Daisy was built in 1943 and is a true veteran! She took part in World War II, including the airborne landing on D-Day, June 6, 1944. She helped build up SAS, served faithfully in Linjeflyg and the Swedish Air Force, and since 1982 she has been operated by the association Flygande Veteraner, flying out of Bromma for many years. Now we continue our journey, with Västerås as our new base.

The Douglas DC-3 is one of the most produced transport and passenger aircraft in the world. The prototype first flew on December 22, 1935. It was developed from the DC-2 as a passenger and mail transport aircraft. In total, over 16,000 DC-3s were built, the majority for military use.

The Grasshopper formation from Norway with the pilots Dag Flatebø, Odd Johnny Pettersen, Per Anders Johnsen will be flying all three days at Flygfesten
The Piper L-4 Grasshopper is a military version of the famous 1930’s Piper Cub. 
The aircraft has a simple, lightweight design which gives it good low-speed handling properties and short-field performance. 
The Grasshopper/Cub is one of the best known light aircraft of all time. The L-4 was typically used for reconnaissance, artillery spotting, and moving personnel behind the lines.

With the cleanest nose at Flygfesten, Jonas Larsson and Johan Gustafsson present a newly formed duo for Flygfesten—Team Thunder! Flying the Thorp T18 and the Laser, they have mastered the art of formation flying with two completely different aircraft, each with unique speeds and flight characteristics.

Janne Andersson will fly Vampire at Flygfesten! Vampire was one of the earliest jet aircraft to be introduced in 1946. It became very popular, with over 4,000 units manufactured. Sweden, Norway, and Finland have all had Vampire in their air forces. Vampire was an exceptionally versatile aircraft that set many records. Among other achievements, it was the first Royal Air Force aircraft to reach a top speed of over 800 km/h. It was also a Vampire that became the first jet aircraft to take off and land on an aircraft carrier. In 1948, a new altitude record was set at 18,119 meters, and later that same year, Vampire became the first jet aircraft to fly across the Atlantic.
