Team 60

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Team 60 is the aerobatic demonstration team of the Swedish Air Force.

The team, at the time still unnamed, was formed in 1974 as a group of 4 SK 60 (Swedish Air Force designation for the SAAB 105) from the Air Force Central Flying School at Ljungbyhed AFB in southern Sweden. The year after another two airplanes was added, and in spring of 1976 the first display under the new name Team 60 was flown in Gothenburg.

Although occasionally being reduced to four, the team flies with six airplanes based in Linköping

Unlike some other air force display teams, the team members here are not full time display pilots but in most cases senior flight instructors from the Swedish Air Force.
