Silja Airpark presented 11 airplanes today at Siljansnäs Day. An initiative taken by Dane resulted in 11 airplanes from SAP did a fly-by during the festival. The planes followed a pattern which passed above the church and thus flew above the crowd gathered on the lawn in front of the church. Ingmar Lind commented on the planes and the pilots, and the fly-bys was a success! Musch applause and a fantastic demonstration of how little moderne airplanes disturb the environment both on the noise side and on the air pollution side. Alice Byrholt made a small video showing all the planes participating...

Something has changed in the airpark, something is different, something is missing. It took a couple of days to realize what we missed. The sound of trumpeting cranes at 2am!! One lonely crane occasionally walks the strip and the safety zones, but never more than one. In optimistic moments the guess is that one parents is taking care of the young one, cranes being very shy and their young ones vulnerable never leave them unguarded. A less optimistic view implies that the cranes have left our premises and prefer Olsnäs Bay. Well, you can’t win them all but if this is the case it is a great...

Danne Martinen took the initiative to invite SAPpilots to present their aircrafts at the Siljansnäs Day by flying over the church (safety distance, naturally!). 11 pilots already signed up, and a briefing will be held Friday at 7:00PM in Danne’s hangar. Great idea and great initiative.

  Toffe dismounting after flight in a SK 60 - a prize won for drafting most members to Swedish Historic Flights Association  2014

Yesterday this beauty arrived at its new home in Siljan Airpark. Henner Jud flew his home built UL Savage Amphibia all the way from Neunkirchen to Siljan Airpark via Falköping fighting a strong headwind.

 An old tradition in Sweden. This took place on the first Saturday of July in Olsnäs 5 km from Siljan Airpark. The party lasted all night - supposedly as it was a beautiful light and warm summernight as you find it in Scandinavia only :)

Plot B4 has been sold. The nice log house and spacy hangar on Rodervägen 4 is now the airpark home for Russel and Brenda Myers from Scotland and their  "single seat Fokker E111 Eindecker replica like the one in the museum/flying circus" as they phrased it in one of their e-mails. We congratulate and welcome our new members of Siljan Airpark!

Hercules C130 and a Husky on a sunny afternoon

  6 RV's made noise and smoke trails and everybody enjoyed it immensely! Nice formations decorated the sky above SAP, one of the pilots a SAP-member. If things go right and agreements can be made they will make a show at Kräftis 2015.
