Fire Boss | Airtractor AT-802

Flies

Flygfesten aims, among other things, to highlight the societal benefits of aviation. That’s why two water-scooping firefighting aircraft of the type Air Tractor AT-802 Fire Boss will be featured at Flygfesten! Since the wildfires of 2018, we have become familiar with their role in forest fire suppression. The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) provides these aircraft as a national reinforcement resource for local fire and rescue services across the country. The aircraft, four in total, are owned and operated by SAAB on behalf of MSB. Thanks to a scooping system in their floats, each plane can take in over 3,000 liters of water from lakes, rivers, or coastal inlets and release it while flying low over a fire zone.Come and experience them up close!

Tiger Moth

Flies

Flygfesten presents Jörgen Davidsson, Steppen Sonestedt, and Kenneth Öhrn with a three-ship Tiger Moth formation!
The de Havilland Tiger Moth is a two-seat British biplane designed in the 1930s to be used as a training aircraft. The plane served in the air forces of many countries all the way up to the 1950s, and even today, many examples are still flown privately.

PROGRAM UPDATE!

Draken will not be flying on Saturday as previously mentioned. This means the Draken will not fly at all during the Air Show… Unfortunately.
BUT we’re replacing it with the Viggen instead! So the Viggen will be flying on both Saturday and Sunday!

Fireworks

When? 

It’s not really something you can sum up in a single image but it deserves its own program slot! The fireworks that wrap up Friday evening’s entire air show program. Were you there last time and thought, 'This can’t be topped'? Oh yes it can. This year, we're going even bigger!
