Swedish Air Force Museum

[jankees]

I visited the Swedish Air Force Museum in Linkoping today, and took some pics of some of the lesser known aircraft.
Truth be told, I don't know exactly what they all are, I recognise the Draken, Lansen, Tunnan, Hunter, Catalina and Ju-86, but the rest.... I'm sure there are a few experts around...



























and finally the DC-3 that was shot down by the Russians in 1952, leading to the 'Catalina Affair'

Looks like a great museum! The only Ju-86 survivor, that's something special, as is that Caproni 313.

Here's an overview of the collection: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flygvapenmuseum

If I ever get to Sweden, that museum will definitely be on the list to visit.

That´s a great collection of really rare warbirds, some of which I never thought to be existing at all any more. The Swedish Junkers 86 is a blast and I still remember my plastic cast model of the "Tunnan" I had as a kid. Great!

Mouth watering. Never enough time to work on the paints. Gorgeous vintage stuff Jan, thanks.
