The Göteborg Aero Show is the largest airshow in Sweden this year and the Swedish Armed Forces’ main airshow for 2008. Göteborg Airport is a former military base known as Säve, which was home to the Swedish Air Forces (Flygvapnet) F9 Göta Wing, which operated the J29 Tunnan and later Hawker Hunters until the base was closed in 1959.
Säve is now home to Ryanair, Wizz, Air Berlin, the Swedish Coast Guard and Gothenburg’s general aviation community.
