The fighter plan started at Blekinge Air Fleet, F 17 Kallinge, at 13.29 and then flew over several Swedish cities in southern Sweden, including Malmö, Trelleborg and Landskrona.

Halmstad reached them at 14.12. They then flew in through the harbor along Nissan and past the city library.

Want to show presence

A few weeks ago, Skaraborg's aircraft fleet made a similar flight. At that time, the "plane tree" passed both Falkenberg and Varberg.

According to the Armed Forces website, this annual flight is a good exercise for the combat aviation divisions. It is also a way for the Air Force to show its presence.
