These walk-around photos were taken at Västerås Flygmuseum in 2017. They show a SAAB 91C Safir, Swedish Air Force serial 50083, civil registration SE-MEF, displayed in the striking black and red colour scheme of the Västerås museum's aerobatic display team — and airworthy to fly in it. The Safir was designed by A.J. Andersson and first flew in November 1945, becoming Saab's greatest commercial success of the era with 323 examples sold to military and civilian customers worldwide. In Swedish service the 91B and 91C variants were designated Sk 50B and Sk 50C respectively, serving as the Air Force's standard basic trainer at F 5 Ljungbyhed from the early 1950s. The 91C differed from the 91B in being powered by a six-cylinder Lycoming O-435 engine rather than the four-cylinder version, giving slightly improved performance. Built in 1960, 50083 served with the Swedish Air Force as a Sk 50C until the type was retired in 1972. It was placed on the civil register as SE-MEF in August 2012 and is now privately owned but based at Västerås, where it participates in the museum's flying programme, regularly taking to the air from the same airfield where many of its kind first trained Swedish military pilots half a century ago.
