Pictured is an AJS-37 Viggen ("Thunderbolt"), formerly a attack & reconnaissance fighter variant of the JA-37 air superiority fighter now in use by a civilian pilot as this photo was taken after its decommissioning. I couldn't find the owner of the aircraft, but still a wonderful find by the photographer. Want more information on this lovely beast of a jet? Learn more on its production here by Sideprojects!

Saab 18 was a twin-engine bomber and reconnaissance aircraft, designed and built by Svenska Aeroplan AB (SAAB) for use by the Swedish Air Force in response to a 1938 design competition. Due to delays, it did not enter service until 1944, but quickly became the standard Swedish bomber aircraft. Serving in the bomber, reconnaissance and ground-attack roles, it also assisted in the development of ejection seats and air-to-surface guided missiles until its replacement by the Saab Lansen in the late 1950s.

En vän frågade vilka instrument jag spelar, var tvungen att tänka efter. Jag började i trean att spela gitarr, lade av som tonåring, men när jag började efter Utah och utbildning inom flygvapnet, med att spela igen, melaln man väntade på nya prognoser, så stickade en del, jag på med hörlurarna och några akord.

IMAGES: B-52 and B-1 bombers perform rare joint flight with Gripens over the Swedish capital

With Sweden about to officially join NATO in the coming days, the U.S. Air Force celebrated March 6 with a rare double overfly of bombers, with a B-52 Stratofortress and a B-1 Lancer flying over Stockholm, accompanied by the Swedish Air Force's JAS39 Gripens fighters.

The U.S. Air Forces in Europe noted in a statement that the bombers flew over the Avicii Arena, the Swedish Parliament, Stockholm Arlanda Airport and much more during the overfly.

A spokesman for the U.S. Air Force Global Attack Command said that the B-52 came from the 5ª Bomber Wing at Minot Air Base, North Dakota, while the B-1 came from the 28ª Bomber Wing at Ellsworth Air Base, South Dakota.

Both bombers planned the CONUS-CONUS mission, which means that they took off from the U.S. and intended to return without landing. The B-1 was diverted, however, to the RAF Base in Fairford, in the United Kingdom, said the spokesman, confirming sightings and reports on social networks.

"The training was a great success and is based on our already excellent relationship," added the spokesman.

“The strong and lasting bond between the United States and Sweden, rooted in mutual interests and shared values, is prepared to reach new heights,” USAFE commander General James Hecker said in a statement. “As Sweden prepares to join the NATO Alliance as its 32ndº member, we eagerly anticipate the deepening of our collaboration with our Swedish Allies. Initiatives such as this joint passage are just the beginning, as we work together to promote international stability and security."

Such missions are signs of support, such as when the B-52s flew over North Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro and Croatia in August 2022. A statement from USAFE at the time said that the mission demonstrated "the commitment and guarantee of the U.S. to the Allies and NATO partners located in Southeast Europe." Similarly, the F-16s fled over Bosnia and Herzegovina in January, in a show of force aimed at deterring the "separatist activity" of Bosnian Serbs. In May 2021, the B-52s flew over all NATO nations in a single flight.

The joint flight of the B-52 and B-1, however, is unusual. The Stockholm overfly recorded a quick return after two B-1s returned to Ellsworth on March 1º, concluding a deployment of the Bomber Task Force at Lulea-Kallax Air Base in Sweden. The jets arrived on February 24 and carried out surface attack, air interdiction and approximate air support training with the Swedish Air Force. On the way back, several NATO allies took turns practicing interceptions with the B-1.

Seversky J-9, supplied to the Swedish Air Force in 1940. It had a more powerful engine (1065 hp Twin Wasp) a lengthened fuselage, and was more heavily armed (two 7.9 mm machine guns and two 13.2 automatic cannons) than the P-35 from which is was derived.

The J 9’s did a valuable duty during the neutrality watch as successors to the obsolete J 8 Gloster Gladiator and saw service until the 1950's.
