Swedish Airforce Sledding

[Ventilee]

A Swedish friend showed this to me the other day, thought you guys might enjoy it.

Actually, better question, is this even possible or is it a fake?

Winter fun, and warm too... :icon_tong

It's possible and looks real to me. Would hate to be the dude to get hit by a 5lb chunk of ice picked up by the jet blast.

Edit: Wonder how the ORM went for that evolution.....

So with however many hundreds of gallons per hour a JA 37 burns though, multiplied by $4+ a gallon of jet fuel, they could pay for some snowmobiles in a hurry. Of course then they wouldn't have built in heat...

Must be an old video as well because they retired the JA 37's a while ago.

Wouldn't want to do that behind a Prowler...

Looks like a good time... wonder what happened to the dude that fell off the sled?

I've heard they made this when the fleet was grounded due to a series of accidents. Dunno if it's true or not.

Seems like a perfectly awesome safety stand-down activity.
