It has almost been an entire century since the first airshow in Swedish history took place in Gärdet in Stockholm. Back then, as many as 50,000 spectators turned up to see this fantastic event. This year, we hope to open the gates once again to streams of visitors for the airshow at Malmen Airfield in Linköping.
