Sola Airshow 2012 - F16 - Pilot Major Eskil Amdal

This year 2012,  it is one hundred years since the first Norwegian military aircraft took off from Norwegian ground, and now at Sola Airshow 2012, the Air Force celebrates its anniversary with an airshow.

Whilst flying the F-16 aircraft we saw acrobatic exercises and there was a lot of noise that made a delicious vibrated in the stomach. I must admit that, to forget the earplugs on this F16 show, was not a smart thing to do. I were about to blow my eardrums out to get some photographs of the aircraft while it was in  near distance. Fortunately, my eardrums are still just fine, I think? What?

Amdal is the fantastic talented pilot in the anniversary plane and he delivered a breathtakingly great show with this new painted fighter. The F-16 plane is carrying the colors of the Norwegian flag for the occasion.

Amdal has flown over 60 different aircraft and traveled over 2,700 miles in the air. And I read in Rogaland Avis that his comments are: - To fly this plane is amazing. It's a boy dream come true

I am a little bit proud, that I photograph the parachute at the moment where it is on it's way out of the aircraft, so I just had to show you this photo as well.

Sola Airshow: Red Bull's

The Flying Bulls have a great Flight Park as they operate from their base in Salzburg in Austria. 
This summer they head north with their flagship DC-6B and their P-38L Lightning to please us.

DC-6 was a relatively common sight at Sola in the 60's when both SAS and Braathens operated this type of aircraft. The Flying Bulls exsample was built in 1958 and was operated by JAT of Yugoslavia until 1975 when it was sold to Kenya.

The machine was taken over by the Flying Bulls in 2000 and was fully restored in 2004. P-38 has just as we know, never been to Norway before. Red Bull individual was built in 1944 and dimmiterte from the U.S. air force in 1945. The machine is a relatively new addition to the Flying Bulls fleet.

Sola Airshow 2012: Catwalk

Catwalk at Sola Airshow 2012

Scandinavian Airshow comes whit their Catwalk team to Sola Airshow 2012. Catwalk is their most spectacular show, when two girl are walking on the wings of the airplane as the pilot are doing aerobatics. Unbelievable that they dare, when the plane plunges at full speed, and almost flying upside down, etc. Spectacular and fun to see this cool show and daring girls on the wings.
