Ängelholms Flygmuseum Saab 105 History The Saab 105 is a Swedish high-wing, twin-engine trainer aircraft developed in the early sixties as a private venture by Saab AB. The Swedish Air Force, which had opted procured the type for various roles, issued the aircraft with the designation Sk 60 . The Sk 60 entered service in 1967, replacing the aging De Havilland Vampire fleet. The Swedish Air Force bought a total of 150 aircraft and another 40 were exported to Austria, designated Saab 105Ö . The Saab 105 is also the aircraft used by Swedish Air Force display team Team 60 and was formerly used by two display teams of the Austrian Air Force, "Karo As" and "Silver Birds". List First flight 29 June 1963 Introduction 1967 Produced 1963–72 Number built 192 Development Saab 105 was initiated by Saab at 1959 as private venture in military and civil capacities. In a military capacity, the 105 can be operated as a jet trainer, conduct aerial reconnaissance and ground attack, and a limited interceptor capability amongst the diverse roles planned for the aircraft. The 105 was one of the only small European aircraft to be equipped with turbofan, which was reported as of interest to prospective business customers. On 29 June 1963 the first prototype conducted its maiden flight.The flight test program soon revealed the type to have good handling qualities and to be capable of performing aerobatic maneuvers. On 6 March 1965, the Swedish Air Force get from the Swedish Government an order for an initial of 130 Saab 105 aircraft. The Swedish aircraft were three principle variants, these being the Sk 60A for training and liaison duties using a four-seat configuration, the Sk 60B for light attack missions in a twin side- by-side seating configuration, and the Sk 60C dual-role attack and reconnaissance aircraft, equipped with various cameras in the aircraft's nose for the latter role. Operational history In July 1967, the first pilots started training on the Saab 105. During the 1990s, by which point the existing engines of the Swedish Air Force's SK 60 fleet were decided to replace the Turbomeca Aubisque engines with newly-built Williams International FJ44 engines, which are lighter and less costly to operate. In November 1993, a contract was signed for the re-engining of 115 aircraft; the number of aircraft to be upgraded was subsequently reduced as a result of cuts to the defense budget.The replacement was performed as a low- cost measure to fulfill the Swedish Air Force's continuing requirement for a primary trainer aircraft.In September 1996, the first of these upgraded aircraft, which had been redesignated as the Sk 60W , was re-delivered to the Swedish Air Force. .

Military applications emerged fairly early in the infancy of aviation, in the form of first trials to establish the superiority of the third dimension over the battlefield. Well- known examples include the balloon reconnaissance efforts made in France even before the birth of the aircraft, and it was not long before the first generation of flimsy, underpowered aircraft were being tested in a military environment. The Italians used aircraft for reconnaissance missions at Tripoli in 1910-1912, and the Americans made their first attempts at taking air power to sea as early as 1910-1911.

Saab-Väggen I Flygets Hus
Saab-väggen i Flygets Hus Saab, Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolaget, grundades år 1937 i Trollhättan och slogs 1939 sam- man med ASJA, Aktiebolaget Svenska Järnvägsverkstädernas Aeroplanavdelning. Huvud- kontoret flyttades till Linköping där ASJA utvecklat och byggt flygplan sedan 1931. Saab och Scania-Vabis fusionerades 1969 till Saab-Scania AB där Saab Flygdivisionen blev en av fyra divisioner. Saab-Scania-koncernen delades 1995 upp i två företag – Saab AB och Scania AB. Saab-väggen visar de flygplan som utvecklats och tillverkats av Saab samt personer som haft en central roll för utvecklingen av såväl företaget som dess produkter eller varit nyckel- personer inom olika teknikområden. De flesta personerna har belönats med Thulinmedaljen som instiftades 1944 av Flygtekniska Föreningen för att hedra minnet av flygpionjären Enoch Thulin. Den utdelas i guld, silver eller brons såsom en ”utmärkelse och erkänsla för flygteknisk gärning”. Alla Saabanställda som tilldelats Thulinmedaljen i guld fram till år 2019 är representerade i porträttgalleriet medan silvermedaljörerna presenteras i en lista i slutet av skriften. Porträttguide Marcus Wallenberg, bank- och industrimannen, var drivande vid bildandet av Saab och betydde mycket för företagets ut- veckling genom åren. Han var ledamot i företagets styrelse från starten 1939 och dess ordförande 1969 – 1980. Ragnar Wahrgren var 1939 chef för ASJ och blev efter samman- slagningen 1939 Saabs förste vd i Linköping. Han ledde företa- get under krigsåren och därefter fram till 1950. Elis Nordquist anställdes vid ASJA 1934 och var vid samman- slagningen 1939 dess chef. I det ”nya” Saab var han chef för tekniska avdelningen fram till 1950 då han utnämndes till vvd.

Team 60 Swedish Precision Flying
Team 60 Swedish precision flying Text and photos by Emiel Sloot The Swedish air force’s demo formation Team 60 celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2006. With their six specially marked Sk 60 aircraft, instructors of the Krigsflygskolan at Linköping-Malmen put up a professional display. The 2006 team members Team history In 1974, the F5 training wing at Ljungbyhed started a display with two Saab 105 aircraft (locally designated Sk 60), adding another two the next year before the formation was expanded to six aircraft, with a first rehearsal in November 1975. Following approval of the Swedish air force commander early 1976, Team 60 – referring to the Sk 60 type designation – was officially established. The first demo was performed over Göteborg-Säve on 15 May 1976, and the first appearance abroad was over Skrydstrup, Denmark in 1980. Since then, Team 60 visited several air shows outside Sweden. During the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) 1996 at RAF Fairford, the team won the Sir Douglas Bader Trophy for the best overall flying display. The 2006 anniversary season included a visit to the Czech International Air Fest at Brno. There were a few seasons without displays, though. During 1989 and 1990, no demos were flown due to lack of pilots, while the 1999 season was cancelled due to engine-related issues. Furthermore, Team 60 was forced to display with a reduced number of aircraft during some summers, mostly due to pilot shortage. However, from 2004 the team was back on full strength. Team 60 can put up three different displays, depending on the weather.
