'''Team 60''' is the [[aerobatic]] demonstration team of the [[Swedish Air Force]].

The team, at the time still unnamed, was formed in 1974 as a group of 4 [[Saab 105|SK 60]] (Swedish Air Force designation for the SAAB 105) from the [[Swedish Air Force Flying School|Air Force Central Flying School]] at [[Ljungbyhed]] Air Base in southern Sweden. The year after another two airplanes were added, and in spring of 1976 the first display under the new name ''Team 60'' was flown in [[Gothenburg]].<ref name="hd-dec-2018">{{Cite news |last=Andersson Lee |first=Joakim |date=2018-12-09 |title=Uppvisningsflygarna som var kända som "En sexa Skåne" |url=https://www.hd.se/2018-12-09/flygarna-som-var-kanda-som-en-sexa-skane |access-date=2024-02-15 |work=[[Helsingborgs Dagblad]] |language=sv}}</ref>

The unofficial name of the group while they were based at Ljungbyhed AB was "En sexa Skåne", which translate to "six centilitres of [[Scania]] [[Akvavit]]" in English.<ref name="hd-dec-2018" /> Ljungbyhed AFB is situated in the county of Skåne ([[Scania]] in English) and Skåne is also a popular kind of [[Akvavit]] at the typical Scanian [[Smorgasbord]]. There are six airplanes in the group and 6cl is a typical [[Swedish snaps]]. The group also terminated some of their shows by doing a [[Snaps|snaps glass]] with smoke in the air.

Although occasionally being reduced to four, the team flies with six airplanes based at [[Malmen Airbase]] near [[Linköping]].

Unlike some other air force display teams, the team members are not full-time display pilots but in most cases senior flight instructors from the Swedish Air Force.
