The Armed Forces Air Show is a yearly event held in Sweden by the Swedish Armed Forces. Entrance is free and it is open to all visitors. The aim is to showcase the activities and operational capability of the Swedish Air Force, as well as highlighting the many career opportunities available in the Armed Forces. The event features a number of displays and exhibits in addition to display flights by various Swedish and international helicopters and aircrafts.
This year, the host for the Air Show is the Uppland Wing, F 16, in Uppsala which was re-established last year. We are proud to arrange the national Swedish Armed Forces Air Show 2022 and you are most welcome to visit us.
