North American P-51D Mustang
The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang is an American long-range, single-seat fighter and fighter-bomber used during World War II and the Korean War, among other conflicts. The Mustang was designed in April 1940 by a team headed by James H. Kindelberger of North American Aviation (NAA) in response to a requirement of the British Purchasing Commission.
The definitive version, the P-51D, was powered by the Packard V-1650-7, a license-built version of the two-speed, two-stage-supercharged Merlin 66, and was armed with six .50 caliber (12.7 mm) AN/M2 Browning machine guns.
Number built: More than 15,000
Over 20 variants of the P-51 Mustang were produced from 1940 to after the war.
Supermarine Spitfire Mk IX
The Supermarine Spitfire is a British single-seat fighter aircraft used by the Royal Air Force and other Allied countries before, during, and after World War II. Many variants of the Spitfire were built, from the Mk 1 to the Rolls-Royce Griffon-engined Mk 24 using several wing configurations and guns. It was the only British fighter produced continuously throughout the war. The Spitfire remains popular among enthusiasts; around 70 remain airworthy, and many more are static exhibits in aviation museums throughout the world.
The Spitfire was designed as a short-range, high-performance interceptor aircraft by R. J. Mitchell, chief designer at Supermarine Aviation Works, which operated as a subsidiary of Vickers-Armstrong from 1928. Mitchell developed the Spitfire's distinctive elliptical wing with innovative sunken rivets (designed by Beverley Shenstone) to have the thinnest possible cross-section, achieving a potential top speed greater than that of several contemporary fighter aircraft, including the Hawker Hurricane.
Flygfesten
Flygfesten is one of the biggest air shows in Europe attracting over 50.000 attendees each year. Flygfesten is an eventful weekend with world class pilots and airplanes. It will include first world war pioneer to the lates of modern airplane engineering, and everything in between.
Flygfesten is an airshow that is arranged every three to four years in Sweden by Västerdalarnas Aero club, an aeroclub located in Dala-Järna in Vansbro municipality, with about 7000 inhabitants.
Flygfesten has since the re-launch in 1986 been arranged every three to four years. With an air show in top international class, our air show is considered one of the largest civil arranged air shows in Northern Europe. Although the air show is our major focal area, Flygfesten wants to be more than just a regular air show.
"We want an event with a festival touch, where Saturday's and Sunday's air show is interspersed with evening entertainment during Friday and Saturday night in the form of dance, rock, disco and fun fair. All of it framed by a pleasant atmosphere."
Flygfesten is a non-profit arrangement and is held to promote the activity of the club in particular and to aviation in general. It offers a good forum for aviation enthusiasts to meet other likeminded, while it is a fine opportunity for us to recruit new club members.
