Was checking out some 1940s plans that included a map for a potential airport in Sweden that would be closest to Copenhagen — perhaps plans related to the Nazi occupation of Denmark or its resistance — and that airport would have been in Malmo in an area relatively close to what became the closest Swedish train stop to CPH after the Oresund bridge was initially opened.
Bulltofta airport was the Malmo airport from 1923-1972 and was used militarily during WW2. But Bulltofta is further NE from what became CPH airport than the considered one mentioned in the maps above (but never came to fruition).

Sturup is so far outside of Malmö that you can’t even see the Turning Torso from it today. It’s not even in Malmö.
I am talking about airport runways that were considered to be located in Malmö itself and would have been closer to where CPH is today than even Bulltofta. Sturup being far more inland than Bulltofta or this runway plan that never came to fruition during WW2.
Something akin to some runways closer to where IKEA is today in Malmö.

During the war the air force initially located at Bulltofta but were looking for a better location. That ended up being Barkåkra/Ängelholm. It's not inconceivable that plans were drawn up and then rejected for a field within city limits.

That’s the defunct Barkakra/Angelholm base with a runway used to test drive the Koenigsegg cars at speeds faster than some planes?

During WW2, the Swedish Air Force had more planes at its peak than SAS had this year, right?
With Norwegian sinking without any more life-preservers being tossed its way from the Norwegian Government, and with the reassuring vaccine news in the picture, SAS shares have skyrocketed in value today: up by around 25% from last week. Combine that with a stronger SEK over the USD, and let’s say that this boost in share price may fund a bit more travel for some who are going to be SK*G next year due to the shareholder benefit scheme SAS announced last month.

Yes, that's quite possible what will happen but I don't know if you've seen that Wizz Air just entered the Norwegian market?
Btw,
the Swedish Air Force was very weak during most of WW2 but the people in charge learnt a very valuable lesson then and increased its size a lot in the coming years. Now it's only a fraction of what it was but in the 50's and 60's it would have been a formidable force.

And if I am not mistaken they are the only air force in the world to have gotten radar lock on an SR-71...

The Swedish Air Force’s manned fixed wing count is way off its historical peak, IIANM. How far below its fixed wing historical peak is SAS?

Hi, I am trying to figure out aircraft type, on which I travelled back in 2002 between Stockholm and Helsinki. Unfortunately flightstats.com provide historical data only from 2006 onwards. This was a morning/noon flight, and curiosity is that it was wide-body aircraft. It was SAS (most probably as it was a connecting flight for *A), or Finnair. Any suggestions as to the aircraft type/recommendations how to find such data? Was a wide body regularly deployed on this route or was it a repositioning maybe? Any clues? Many thanks for any help.

I don't have a definitive answer, but at that point in time SK would have had 767 and A340 as widebody planes.
There was a 767 dedicated to European operations, with a short haul interior, but that was gone by the time you are talking about. Most likely it would have been a crew training flight on the A340 as they were still pretty new to the fleet at that time.
