According to multiple reports, the Swedish Air Force has practiced display flying in Uppsala at the start of the week. Three JAS 39 Gripens are frequently visible in the skies at Ärna airfield, and three display pilots have gathered to compete ahead of the season.
The flights are conducted at relatively low altitude directly over F16, causing more noise than usual, Kristoffer Olofsson, communications chief at F16, told Uppsala Nya Tidning. The flight training ends tomorrow, Wednesday.
The flights are conducted at relatively low altitude directly over F16, so it will be noisier and louder than when we normally fly.
The Swedish Armed Forces have released images from inside the cockpit, according to major media reports. It is not known what specific competition the pilots are training for or how many pilots are participating in total.
