Early yesterday morning...

This Saturday the Swedish Airforce Museum opened a brand new
exhibition called 'Survive'! There were a lot of government agencies,
survival associations and knowledgeable people there, teaching
survival skills to anyone who might listen.
There was also a fascinating lecture by a swedish woman who's
climed to the top of Mount Everest, and also paddled and biked
around the continental US. Which took 440 days...:Wow:
These scouts were very good at starting a fire, using different methods.
They made Pine needle tea for people and showed various winter shelters.
Inside the museum there are lots of great planes! A Catalina and a Mig 15.
And a lovely
Spitfire!
SwAF used both the Spitfire and P-51 Mustang!
The chilling start of the Survival exhibition...
Here in Sweden we are starting to experience more and more problems
with the electricity, which was unheard of twenty years ago. I am convinced
that this is an EC / EU harmonization, aimed at rising the price of electricity.
These are things you might want to have ready
when (not if...) the electricity
disappears.
A clever way to save heat when your house starts to get cold: Put your bed
under the kitchen table and put some blankets on it, making it a small tent!
As it is the Airforce Museum you also get to see the military survival.
This is what a pilot has with him today, it he has to eject.
For around 15 Pounds you could book a flight in a real Fpl-39 Gripen simulator,
with an instructor by your side. Here is my friend "flying".
It is a totally awesome experience and I even got to shoot down enemy aircrafts
using missiles and the gun!
The diploma I got, telling about my adventure!
