Viggen Flight Simulator

At Söderhamn's venerable F15 Air Force Museum, a place that brings the rich history of the Swedish Air Force to life, an extraordinary opportunity awaits. Here, you get to experience, for a moment, what it was like to pilot one of Sweden's most iconic aircraft. The museum, once the heart of the F15 division's operations during the Cold War, offers more than just exhibits – it invites you on a journey through time, right into the pilot's seat.

Our advanced simulator recreates with incredible realism the feel and functionality of the legendary Viggen aircraft, a symbol of Swedish engineering and a key player in the country's defense. Stepping into the cockpit is like being transported back to a time when Sweden faced geopolitical challenges and needed aircraft that could act with precision and speed. The detailed replica of the cockpit, with its instrument panel and controls, provides an authentic insight into the complex systems that once dominated Swedish airspace.

This experience is designed to give you a serious taste of the challenges a Viggen pilot faced. It's not just about pushing buttons; it's a test of concentration, quick reaction capability, and strategic thinking. Under guidance, you get the chance to perform maneuvers that required extensive training from professional pilots. This interactive dimension deepens the understanding of aviation's crucial role, both for the region and for Sweden, during a critical historical period.

Söderhamn, with its strong historical ties to the aviation industry, becomes more than just a spot on the map through this simulator experience. It's a gateway to a bygone era where technical innovation and human courage were central. A visit here not only provides an adrenaline rush but also prompts reflection on Sweden's distinguished contributions to aviation development and how a small country could deliver groundbreaking solutions to global challenges.
