Amazing photo Elixx! How could we match that?

Well, as you are Swedish the photo below is rather fun at least (taken with my cell phone so the quality is awful). I did not know we had aircraft boneyards in Sweden until last year - from the old Rinkaby military air base last summer:



Google Maps link to the place

For the rest of you - what planes are that? (swedes, danes, finns etc may not answer )

EDIT AGAIN: Well, the fence is not to keep people away but the cows that graze the old air base

I talked to a JA-37 Viggen pilot once who said they could not catch them flat out "racing" and the JAS-39 is about the same speed as the JA-37

Nothing fancy.. took these on my phone the other day in Tangmere, had a hour to kill and i was just around the corner from Tangmere Aviation Museum.. they have a pretty cool BoB section..If you are near Chichester you should pop in.





Couldn't take better or more shots as you are not meant to take photos.. (but i'm not great with rules!)

We used to have F-35 and RF-35 Draken's in the RDAF talk about the Speed O' heat, always great to see airborne, they got replaced by the -16, but seeing them overhead is some of the fondest aviation moments I have (Danish F-35's were heavily modified to accept NATO ordnance, and even Bulpup missiles plus some rather advances RHAW and ECM stuff)
