Helicopter 5

The Air Force Museum's helicopters from Linköping participate with two HKP-5 flown by David Björkqvist and Alexander Jacobs. HKP-5 was the defense's main training helicopter from the mid-1980s until the end of the 1990s, when this helicopter system was phased out.

HKP-5 is very manoeuvrable due to its small size and can be tactically flown at low and using the terrain to avoid detection. The rotor diameter and length also means that the helicopter can land on small surfaces.

J35 Draken

Saab 35 “Dragon” is a one-engine Swedish hunting aircraft developed by Saab for the Swedish Air Force. The aircraft was in military service for over 40 years in four European countries. Around 1950, Sweden realized that a hunting plan was needed to intercept the new nuclear bombing aircrafts. The aircraft would be equipped with radar and it would be able to fly faster than the sound. In addition, it would have a very good climbing ability, long range, endurance and ability to carry the weapons required for the mission.
