Flies

The flying bulls and Eskil Amdal flies with the F4U Corsair all three days at Flygfesten! The Corsair is one of the most iconic fighter planes from World War II and the Korean War. With its distinctive bent wing, powerful engine, and rugged construction, it quickly became a favorite among U.S. Navy pilots and a feared enemy in the air.

The Corsair first flew in 1940 and became the first single-engine American fighter plane to exceed 400 mph (640 km/h). Thanks to its folding wing design, the Corsair primarily served as a carrier-based fighter and attack aircraft.

Finn Terje Skyrud and Lars Ness are flying the Bücker Bü 131 Jungmann at the Flygfesten air show, a German training aircraft developed during the 1930s.

The aircraft was built using a combination of steel, wood, and fabric. Test flights revealed excellent performance, and it became popular both with civilian flight schools and in the German air force, the Luftwaffe. The model was also exported to countries such as Hungary and Romania, and was license-built in places like Switzerland and Japan.

During World War II, the plane was used not only for training but also in night raids against Soviet forces, as it could carry small bombs weighing 1–2 kilograms. Despite the war, many examples survived, and production continued – as late as the 1950s, the model was still being produced in Czechoslovakia under the designation C.4.

Flygande Veteraner and the DC-3 "Daisy" are coming to Flygfesten! Daisy was built in 1943 and is a true veteran! She took part in World War II, including the airborne landing on D-Day, June 6, 1944. She helped build up SAS, served faithfully in Linjeflyg and the Swedish Air Force, and since 1982 she has been operated by the association Flygande Veteraner, flying out of Bromma for many years. Now we continue our journey, with Västerås as our new base.

The Douglas DC-3 is one of the most produced transport and passenger aircraft in the world. The prototype first flew on December 22, 1935. It was developed from the DC-2 as a passenger and mail transport aircraft. In total, over 16,000 DC-3s were built, the majority for military use.

The Grasshopper formation from Norway with the pilots Dag Flatebø, Odd Johnny Pettersen, Per Anders Johnsen will be flying all three days at Flygfesten
The Piper L-4 Grasshopper is a military version of the famous 1930’s Piper Cub. 
The aircraft has a simple, lightweight design which gives it good low-speed handling properties and short-field performance. 
The Grasshopper/Cub is one of the best known light aircraft of all time. The L-4 was typically used for reconnaissance, artillery spotting, and moving personnel behind the lines.
