Paso Robles is the home of the Estrella Warbird Museum, a very nice collection of warbirds, especially combat jets. I definitely was not expecting to see this Swedish attack aircraft! Apparently in the late 1980’s, the Swedish Air Force was desperate to obtain a Spitfire for their collection and sold off five surplus aircraft (which included two Lansens) to raise the funds. The Museum acquired one of the Lansens in September 2009. Introduced in 1956, these aircraft served with the Swedish Air Force until 1997. Nikon D500 w/18-200mm.
