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!

The future of aviation is visiting the Flygfesten airshow!
The Norwegian Air Sports Federation is bringing its Pipistrel Velis Electro. This is a two-seater, fully electric aircraft with a flight time of up to 50 minutes plus a 10-minute reserve. The aircraft is powered by a 57.6 kW electric motor and two lithium-ion batteries, each with a capacity of 11 kWh. The Velis Electro is also remarkably quiet, with a noise level of just 60 dBa, comparable to a normal conversation.

The Flying Bulls' North American B-25J "Mitchell" and Pilots Frederic Handelmann & Matthias Dolderer visit Flygfesten

This iconic twin-engine medium bomber from World War II, renowned for its role in the daring Doolittle Raid of 1942, is one of the most dazzling aircraft ever built in the United States. Powered by two 14-cylinder radial engines from the Curtiss-Wright Corporation, delivering a combined output of over 3,400 horsepower, it reaches top speeds exceeding 500 km/h.

The Flying Bulls' B-25J, built in 1945, has been meticulously restored to perfection and gleams with its high-gloss polished aluminum body. Its distinctive glass nose dome and glazed rear section not only offer a historical experience but also some of the most sought-after photo opportunities in their fleet.

We only have a pilot photo of Frederic Handelmann—Matthias Dolderer has yet to be captured on camera.
