Three display pilots have gathered in Uppsala to compete and train ahead of the season. JAS 39 Gripen jets are frequently visible in the skies over Ärna airfield, explaining the roaring sounds over the city.
Flight training with three JAS 39 Gripen aircraft is underway at Ärna airfield in Uppsala. Three display pilots have converged to prepare for the season's competitions, evident in the intense aerial activity.
Major Henrik “Sunshine” Björling describes the experience: “Speed, G-forces, and brutal performance.” A clip from SVT Nyheter shows the training, which concludes tomorrow, Wednesday.
The jets' engine noise has been heard over Uppsala, but it stems from scheduled display exercises. SVT Nyheter reports the activity is temporary and linked to the upcoming season.
