Swedish Air Force - Flygvapnet
Flying Training School (FlygSkolan)
Linköping/Malmen, Sweden
August 2014

Four days on base and between flights I spent time wondering around the flight lines and hangars, here are some of the images which did not make the article.

Left to right: To get the image above I had to work something out with the student pilots. Several times a day the Flying Training School (FTS) have mass launches which suits their operations at Malmen and fits in the FSVs operations which share the airfield. I wanted an image which depicted the mass launch. I had noticed in previous launches that the instructors and pilots wandered out on to the ramp in their own time but started up at almost the same time and taxied out over a five minute period. With the approval of the deputy FTS commander Major Mike Rosenquist (extreme right image) I addressed around 25 students and instructors at the end of the early morning briefing. I asked them to wait at the door to the ramp and the crew for the furthest Sk 60 to step out first when he reached the first yellow line then the second crew for the send furthest jet should then step out. This sequence was to be repeated so that I had equally spaced crews walking out to their jets. The plan worked perfectly and I got my shot.
