Finland 100
Finnish Air Force 100th Anniversary Airshow.
Jyvaskyla Air Base, Central Finland, 16-17 June 2018
Report by Peter Davison and Colin Coulthard
Finland rarely holds military airshows other than the ‘Midnight Hawks’ display team event at the Kauhava Air Force Academy. Hence, this event was eagerly awaited and attracted a considerable number of aviation enthusiasts; many making their first visit to the country whose welcoming attitude was a pleasure to experience. Finland has many significant aeronautical museums and these enjoyed, or suffered, a great increase in visitors keen to see the blend of east and west evident across the collections.
