The Ystad international Military Tattoo 2009 did not only include four parade ground tattoos. During the week, the town overflowed with concerts by the various military bands, the champion chefs of the Swedish Army Catering Corps displayed their culinary skills and the field bakery served fresh Danish pastries by the thousands, and as if that were not enough, the Army, Marines and Air Force put on displays, exhibitions and shows including the state-of-the-art fighter JAS 39 Gripen.
