"Team 50" is a Swedish civil air group founded in 2012 by members from F6 Flygklubb, Ärna Flygklubb, and Västerås Flygmuseum.[1] The group flies with five Saab 91 Safir aircraft, both individually and in group formations. The Saab Safir aircraft was used by the Swedish Air Force as a training, transport, and reconnaissance aircraft between 1946 and 1992.[2] The aircraft used by Team 50 are both B (SK 50B) and C versions (SK 50C) of the plane. The aircraft are historically painted and marked as they once looked when they were used within the Swedish Air Force.
Activities[edit]
Team 50 frequently takes part in air shows around Sweden. In June 2020, the team flew in formation over Stockholm and Gothenburg to honor the victims of the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4] Because the team is made up of mostly older retired air force personnel, Swedish media noted that their actions reflected the members being part of the "at-risk" group.[5]. In August 2022, the team flew various formations over Uppsala to participate in the Swedish Armed Forces airshow. [6] The group also maintains a Youtube channel showcasing their Saab Safir flights.
