Along the coastline in northern Norway.

Over an unknown location in the Bardufoss area.

Special markings celebrating the 50th anniversary of 6 Hikotai. This side of the tail wears F-86 markings, the left side shows F-1 camouflage.

Agusta-Westland EH.101 Merlin Mk.512, serial M-514, of Eskadrille 722 based at Karup. Picture is taken in September 2008 over a lake east of Karup, from the open rear ramp of another Merlin. We had about 10 minutes to produce air-to-air shots at the start of a local training mission. After making a series of head-on shots of M-514 manoeuvering behind the other Merlin, we swept down low over the lake with the two Merlins more or less side-by-side, producing this striking shot.

Saab SK37E Viggen, serial/codes 37811/73 and 37817/75, of F21 wing based at Luleå. This photograph was taken above northern Sweden near Luleå in August 2005, from the back-seat of another Viggen. This was during the final months of Viggen operations, as the type was retired from Flygvapnet operational service by the end of that year. We had a three-ship SK37 sortie to produce some last air-to-air pictures of the mighty Viggen. Most of the time was spent taking pictures while manoeuvring in the vertical plane

Mil Mi-8, serial HS-11, and NH Industries NH90, serial NH-208, of the Helikopteripataljoona (Helicopter battalion) based at Utti. Picture is taken above the Land of a Thousand Lakes near Utti in May 2010, from a Hughes 500 from the same unit. At that time only two Mi-8 were still flying with the Helikopteripataljoona, and the unit was heavily engaged in converting to the new NH90. Shooting air-to-air of helicopters from helicopters is always a challenge, as the slow shutter speeds required to produce a full rotor disc are somewhat incompatible with the usually very bumpy ride, so a compromise

Lockheed P-3C Orion, serial 3297, of 333 Skvadron based at Andøya. Picture is taken above Senja near Tromsø along the coast of northern Norway in March 2009, from another P-3. It is extremely rare that 333 SKV have two Orions in the air at the same time and place, but creative planning of one operational and one training mission made this possible. The two aircraft met over the Atlantic north of Tromsø and flew together back to Andøya, giving time for a little manoeuvring which produced this nice shot.
