Crown Princess Victoria has flown the Jas 39 Gripen. She flew with a division commander during a training mission with the Swedish Defence Force.

"The Crown Princess was very focused and impressed by the tactics, cooperation and capabilities of the fighter aircraft," says Johan Lörelius, school administrator at the Air Combat School, in a press release.

During the autumn, Victoria supplemented her officer training with an in-depth study of the air force. At the Norrbotten Air Flotilla in Luleå, she met the fighter aircraft division and participated in a flight during a training mission.

The exercise involved defending against two enemy planes that were trying to attack Swedish bridges.
