RONNEBY AIRSHOW 2004

On 29 August 2004 i've been able to visit the airshow at Ronneby. They even made it Possible for Spotters to take a tour to the flightline and make pictures there.... it wasn't easy to make them cause you needed like 28mm max. to shoot them. When walking on the flightline 2 gripens came in for the landing and used the taxi track on the flightline side. Very nice to see was the gripen in full-color markings......you wont see that many in full color anymore.

JA-37Di 37449/49 F4 on the flightline
	J-32E 32512/03 Historical flight on the flightline
JAS39A 39121/21 F7 on the taxitrack after landing

The static was also good sometimes had to wait till no or almost no people on it but there was allot variety. At the end of the day it was easier to make some pictures from the bigger planes without people. Very nice to see was the Future Greek Elint EMB145H

	EMB145H 374/PP-XHL this is the future HAF ERJ145H but was in Sweden for testing the radarsystems.
SH89 89001/891 the only one in service with the Flygvapnet
	Mir2000C 27/5-OH EC02.005

And as final the flying part this was also perfect there was a Spotterscorner (like the RIAT) with grandstand and very close to the taxi-track so allot chances to make nice pictures. The Swedish Airforce even took care of food and drinks in the Spotters-corner for free, never seen something like that before at an Airshow.
