15,000 visitors in one day inside SAC C-17 at Swedish Armed Forces Airshow


Pápa, 9 September 2022 - The Strategic Airlift Capability (SAC) honoured its commitment to participate at two airshows a year by representing the programme at the Swedish Armed Forces' Airshow at Uppsala, Sweden on 27 August.

Following the Royal International Air Tattoo in the UK, one of the programme’s C-17s flew to member nation Sweden's annual airshow in late August. The airshow, which counted 190,000 visitors - a new record for the event - provided an excellent opportunity for the SAC to promote its capabilities in front of the Swedish public. 50 members of the SAC team from six nations engaged with visitors during the day. Swedish spouses of SAC team members had a special role; they talked about what life is like in Hungary.
