HiJack Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 This year is the 100th anniversary of the first takeoff of a Norwegian military aircraft. The main public event, which is completely free, is held next weekend the 1st and 2nd September in the middle of the main city of Oslo. No F-35 this time but I’m sure this will be a great show to watch from the center of the harbor. Formation flight: Patrouille de France The will be a practice run Friday afternoon. The participants: http://forsvaret.no/aktuelt/luftmakt/arrangementene/hoved/Sider/deltagere.aspx Info in Norwegian about the show: http://forsvaret.no/aktuelt/luftmakt/arrangementene/hoved/Sider/info.aspx Norwegian Armed Forces http://mil.no/Pages/default.aspx I hope for a great public event! :D (HJ)
Agg Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 It was actually said on the Facebook page that there would be an F-35, model of course. Im going, planning on going down on friday after work to scope out the best photo spots, I think Akershus Festning might be a good place.
HiJack Posted August 23, 2012 Author Posted August 23, 2012 The fortres "Akershus Festning" is a good spot. So is also the bar area down at the harbour ;)
Agg Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Yes, but if you're at Akerbrygge your going to have the sun in your face, not the best conditions for photography :)
HiJack Posted September 1, 2012 Author Posted September 1, 2012 Some pre show pictures. Almost completly missed the aircraft on this one. The aircraft is one of the two official full size models of the F-35.
HiJack Posted September 1, 2012 Author Posted September 1, 2012 If everything works out as planned we should see this bird in flight around 13:00 (GMT +2) (HJ)

HiJack Posted September 3, 2012 Author Posted September 3, 2012 Patrouille de France gave me goosebumps! It sure was a great show by the French ;) A very nice day for the smoke also, they made a heart at the end :D I took some videos with my mobile camera but the sound was a complete let down due to wind noice, sorry, did not bring a decent video recorder. Anyway I had a really good spot on an island out in the fjord and they made the power turns just right over my head :weee: :D (HJ)
Udat Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Coool :) They played music in the PA by the plaza by the way, and the final goodbye manouvre was started simultaneously with the song "conquest of paradise" reaching its crescendo.. Amazing timing! Intel i7-950 @stock, Asus P6X58D-E, 3x4GB Corsair Vengeance, Asus GTX 580, Corsair 120GB SSD, Corsair HX 750W PSU [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Agg Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 A very nice day out, wish it was not just a one off event...
