Yesterday (Sat 12 Sept) it was Open House at the Linköping Regiment, located at Linköping-Malmen airbase in Central Sweden. It was a small open house with a few air displays among which where Team 60 (one of their two shows this year), one JAS39 Gripen from Försökcentralen (defence force test unit), one Hkp9 demo and the Flygvapenmuseum's Saab B17. Unfortunately, the shows where performed directly in front of the sun. This however also made opportunity for special pics while facing the sun.
Besides, there was a small static on the platforms including Flygvapnet's S102B, S100D, Hkp9, Hkp15 and the new Hkp14's! Moreover, from the Swedish Armed Forces Test Unit (also based at Malmen) a JAS39C Gripen, Hkp4 and Tp86 Sabreliner

A small but pleasant day, with the highlights for me being the new Hkp14s and Tp86!
Enjoy the photos and don't hesitate to comment!
