This is my log from the show. It certainly is incomplete, as I did not write down the dozens of tiny bugs, even if they had a military past. Additions/corrections are welcome of course.

All in all I was not too impressed with the show. Surely the Norwegian helicopters were a very welcome catch, but the show was small. Even smaller than we had expected. And why only 1 Norwegian F-16 on the static, why hide the second Typhoon, were was the announced demo of all Norwegian types in the air? It could have been much better, but I guess the inexperience showed. Good thing was the very close distance to the city. First time ever I walked from my hotel to an airshow!

There was a third JAS-39, but I only saw its belly when in came in.

Rob, the 51+06 was from LTG63

@ Erwin: I agree that the expectations were more then there was at Bodo but for Norwegian standards I think it was a good show. Specially the background made it for photographers unique.
Only miss was a Orion but the Viggen, taxiing F-104, Lynx, Safari's and other (old) stuff made it my money worth.
