Keeping strictly to your route, you make your way to Karlsborg, famous for its fortress. There your are cleared to land on the military air base - so don’t mess up your landing as Carl’s friends are watching.

Carl’s letter

After university I started at Saab, and was part of the engineering team which build the Saab Viggen. Oh, what a joyful little bird. I had lots of friends in the Swedish air force, and we often got together on formal and informal meetings. Even though I have never been in the military, I visited so many air bases most personal treated me as one of their kind.

The Viggen jockeys met in Karlsborg, where Saab got feedback from the real-life experience of Viggen flying. As the Viggen was able to land on streets, there were lots of interesting stories.

Even when I left Saab, I still was invited to see the Viggen pilots gatherings. Later on it was less about flying the Viggen (now replaced by the Gripen) but sitting around campfires and sharing a good laugh.
