The Grasshopper formation

Flies

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.

Nordic Warbirds - Vampire

Flies

Janne Andersson will fly Vampire at Flygfesten! Vampire was one of the earliest jet aircraft to be introduced in 1946. It became very popular, with over 4,000 units manufactured. Sweden, Norway, and Finland have all had Vampire in their air forces. Vampire was an exceptionally versatile aircraft that set many records. Among other achievements, it was the first Royal Air Force aircraft to reach a top speed of over 800 km/h. It was also a Vampire that became the first jet aircraft to take off and land on an aircraft carrier. In 1948, a new altitude record was set at 18,119 meters, and later that same year, Vampire became the first jet aircraft to fly across the Atlantic.
