Activities: We visited the Swedish Air Force Museum, which has over 300 airplanes and helicopters. If the kids are over 135cm they had a chance to try a JAS 39 Gripensimulator. (It's possible to try it even if you are not tall enough, but it might be difficult to reach the sticks)
Highlights: Our children really enjoyed the Swedish Air Force Museum. They especially liked seeing all the airplanes and helicopters. The JAS 39 Gripensimulator was also a highlight ✨
