B-25J Mitchell

Flies

The Flying Bulls' North American B-25J "Mitchell" and Pilots Frederic Handelmann & Matthias Dolderer visit Flygfesten

This iconic twin-engine medium bomber from World War II, renowned for its role in the daring Doolittle Raid of 1942, is one of the most dazzling aircraft ever built in the United States. Powered by two 14-cylinder radial engines from the Curtiss-Wright Corporation, delivering a combined output of over 3,400 horsepower, it reaches top speeds exceeding 500 km/h.

The Flying Bulls' B-25J, built in 1945, has been meticulously restored to perfection and gleams with its high-gloss polished aluminum body. Its distinctive glass nose dome and glazed rear section not only offer a historical experience but also some of the most sought-after photo opportunities in their fleet.

We only have a pilot photo of Frederic Handelmann—Matthias Dolderer has yet to be captured on camera.

Stella Adee

Performing

Country singer Stella Adee is a singer/songwriter from Dalarna who has always dreamed of becoming an artist. As a child, Shania Twain was one of her favorite artists. Over the years, her taste in music has varied. It was during a trip to the USA in 2019 that her passion for country music was reignited, and in the summer of 2020, she wrote her first country song, “Face the Music,” which was released in 2021. A high-energy dance track, it was played on P4 Dalarna, where Stella Adee was named Dala Artist of the Week. Later that year, she wrote her second song, “I’ve Been Dreaming,” a love song that was released in 2023 and played on the Swedish radio channel Go Country. In December 2023, she received an offer to sign with a record label, and 2024 has been filled with new releases. Inspired by modern country music, Stella enjoys singing songs by Chris Stapleton and Luke Combs.

Jet Para Hawk Team

Flies

Flygfesten will be visited by the spectacular Jet Para Hawk Team – a British display team known for their advanced aerial acrobatics using jet-powered paramotors, complete with smoke and fireworks. They will perform on all three days: Friday evening, and during the day on Saturday and Sunday. Jet Para Hawk is a unique feature in the world of airshows, where engineering meets extreme sport at the highest level. This is the first time the team is visiting Flygfesten in Dala-Järna – an event you don’t want to miss.

Daniel Ryfa

Flies

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Daniel Ryfa!
In 2009, he became the European champion in aerobatics. In 2014, he started as a race pilot in the Red Bull Air Race, and during his six years with 22 podium finishes and 7 victories, he became the most successful Challenger Class pilot in the history of the series.
Daniel Ryfa masters the extremes—from the S.E.5 from World War I (which he has even built himself) to the Edge 540, one of the world’s most modern aerobatic aircraft.
And at Flygfesten, he’ll be flying both. Don’t miss it!
