Open House Saab Linköping 3 June 2012

[Lifeliner 3]

I noticed on the Scramble airshow calendar there is an 'Open House' listed on 3 June 2012 at Linköping-Malmen, because of the 75th anniversary of the Saab (aviation) company.
However, I couldn't find any additional info on the web or on the Saab company's website. And is the location correct, or is it possibly Linköping City Airport

Malmen seems much more likely to me, despite the fact that Saab is located at another airport.... Not a lot of space there!!

Depends on whether it will be an airshow, or really an open house. For an airshow they might not have enough space, for an open house they need to do it at the facility.

The showdates entree is based on following links I received stating "Malmens militärflygplats i Linköping" as the place to be for the "allmänhetens flygdag" on the third.

My Swedish isn't very good... but if I read it well, the airshow celebrates 75 years of SAAB aviation, and 100 years of Swedish military aviation. Also I think they say the first UH-60M for Sweden should make a debut. And of course, all historic Saab aircraft-types which are still airworthy. So it looks promising... But it's still 8 months to go.

Thanks for the replies. Using Google translate on the document (Letter of intent), I discovered that the air show is to celebrate 100 years of flying from Malmen (in 2010 100 years of flight in Sweden was already celebrated...) and 75 years of SAAB. And the event will also be the Swedish Air Force main event for 2012 - something I did not expect, as Malmen was also the location in 2010.

Bu as mentioned above, it's still 8 months away and the Swedes have cancelled air shows in the past....

[Flygvapnet_Viggen]

well, Google did a good translation there
Without bragging about it, i would say my Swedish is rather good so to complement:
2010 was indeed 100yrs of Swedish Aviation, 2012 is actually 100yrs since first Swedish Military Aviation, which started from Malmen airbase. The Swedish Airforce celebrated 85yrs last year.
Besides these dates, the public airshow on the 3rd seems that its going to be at Malmen indeed.
About speculations from the norwegian forum on participants, that is just wishful thinking... nothing know about that yet, but who knows... As you say, its still far away.

Question to knowing people. How you think, if this action takes place, the chance to see in flight the Viggen aspires to zero?

According to the site the first demo team for the airshow will be the Baltic Bees.

Let's hope they soften their landing

Great list,

Althought I miss the SK.60/Saab 105/ Team 60.

Hkp.9 (Bo.105) seems out of service is that correct?

Bye,
Pieter

Yes, the Bo105 are out of service (unfortunately).

Red Bull Bo105?
