On Saturday, several aircraft in formation flew over western Sweden to honor covid-19 victims and the health service.

The initiative comes from the flight demonstration group Team 50, which during the weekend conducts several flights in aircraft of the brand Saab Safir. The group consists mainly of pilots with a military background.

Honor - and praise

The plane left Skövde at 1 pm and then flew in over Gothenburg where they took an extra lap over Sahlgrenska before taking a break at Säve airport. In the afternoon, they flew via Landvetter, Borås and Falköping back to Skövde.

The purpose of the flight was to honor those who died in Covid-19 but also to pay attention and pay tribute to the medical staff.

- Many of those who work have worked very hard and still work very hard. They do not get the appreciation they deserve too often, says Tord Grönvik.
