Inspired by Griffo's "At odds with the world" photo in post 607 on page 31 and more than six months in-the-waiting to obtain these images un-watermarked and with the photographer's permission .. I am thrilled to be able to present these great Bölkow shots:

Swedish Air Force MBB Bo105CB3 09209
(Photo: ©Rickard Gillberg/Nordic Rotors)

These images were taken on 16th September 2005 on the outskirts of Stockholm by Swedish photographer and helicopter pilot Rickard Gillberg (also the Head of Publishing at Nordic Rotors) during his visit to 'Team Vingarna' (the Swedish Armed Forces helicopter display team). Rickard joined 'Vingarna' during one of their practice sessions and captured these striking images.

In their day (between 1995-2010) the Swedish Armed Forces Helicopter Wing operated more than twenty HKP 9's (Bo105's).
