On the way home from Nusnäs my dad called to see if we wanted to go to an airshow the following day. He had heard on the local radio that there was something in Dala Järna (a small village/town about 1½  hrs drive from where we live) and I thought to myself, what could be happening in Dala Järna? Quite a lot it appeared when we got home and checked it out on the website flygfesten.com. Airplane nerds as we are we thought it looked like a fun day so we managed to arrange with earprotection for the kids, quickly arrange a packed lunch and left for Dala Järna airfield in the early morning. What started out as a cloudy day turned into a sunny and lovely day!

A enjoyed using the binoculars!

 

 

 

 

 

If I remember correctly this is a Saab 35 Draken (Dragon) an old swedish fighter jet

 

 

J got inspired and had her own airshow with her fork

 

 

 

 

 

A mustang and a Spitfire (amazingly enough we have a swedish spitfire!)

 

 

This was the kids fav part, two ladies on the wings during flight

For 160 Euros you could go for a flight with the Junkers (too much money for me, but would have been cool)

 

 

Ready for take off
