Kaivopuisto Air Show 2017
This post is part of a series named “Europe 2017” where I share photos from my adventures in Europe during the summer 2017.
In early June 2017, we attended an air show in Kaivopuisto. Unfortunately, we found out about it last minute, and so we missed the beginning which included a Finnair Airbus A350 flyby. Pity.
The show included a number of trainers and combat aircraft performing various maneuvers. Here are the highlights (for more photos visit the gallery).

During one of the passes, I took a burst of images and then assembled them into a Southwest 737 “Airportrait”-style image.

Even though this post has more photos than I typically share, there are many more in the gallery. So, if you are into airplanes, I suggest you peruse it.
