Get ready for an unforgettable day at Karlstad Airport!
Follow the planes up close, experience impressive air shows, and explore both military and civilian exhibitions and blue light vehicles. Why not take a test flight with Sola Air for an extra experience? Explore combat vehicles, uniforms and defence equipment, watch VR films, test drive military vehicles and ride a tracked vehicle. Come and be part of this second edition of Flygkultur, a day filled with exciting activities and experiences for the whole family!
You will also be able to see both historical and more modern aeroplanes up close and personal as they perform breathtaking air shows. For example, SK 60, J29 Tunnan and J35 Draken, but also Gripen and AJS37 Viggen.
Food and drink
Summery salmon, classic husman or savoury oumpf? The flavourful kitchen team from Löfbergs Arena has created a suitable menu to choose from. And a little tip is to order the food at once, as there are a limited number of dishes for sale on site. There will of course also be coffee, ice cream and goodies for sale in the kiosks.
