The UK Royal Air Force’s Eurofighter Typhoon Display Pilot will take to the skies at the Finnish Air Force 100th Anniversary Air Show in Jyväskylä, showcasing the incredible power, speed and agility of the aircraft.
Flt Lt Jim Peterson revealed on social media that Eurofighter will fly at the show on June 16 and 17.

Eurofighter, which is being considered as part of the Finnish HX programme to replace Finland’s current fleet of F/A-18 aircraft, was one of the highlights of last summer’s Finland 100 Anniversary Air Show in Helsinki.

Eurofighter consortium partners BAE Systems and Airbus will also be present at Jyväskylä.

Paul Hitchcock, Managing Director of BAE Systems Finland, said:
“Last year’s Eurofighter Typhoon display was the talk of the entire show and I am looking forward to another spectacular display this year. We are delighted and extremely proud to be joining the Finnish Air Force’s centenary celebrations in Jyväskylä and are looking forward to seeing Eurofighter wow the crowds once again.”
