Nice pictures of the "old" swedish built fighter jet viggen, this is the last viggen planes still on active duty The viggen is the only aircraft in the world that has managed o lock it's missiles on the american blackbird aircraft. The new swedish built fighter jet JAS 39 Griffin is the dominat plane in the swedish airforce nowadays, i for one are sorry to se this great fighter laid to rest.
Enjoy these fine images!

Quote: | After the F27 Fokker delivered its first jet aircraft, the Fokker F28 Fellowship to LTU in Germany in February 1969. A total of 241 were built and finally the Fokker 100 superceded the F28 in 1986.
After already having built 100s of other military fighters like the Gloster Meteor and the F104 Starfighter, Fokker assembled 300 F-16 fighter aircraft for the Netherlands Airforce, and also for the Airforces in Denmark and Norway in the seventies.
Also Fokker was asked to become an associated manufacturer for the Airbus A300, the first aircraft from Airbus. Fokker today still manufacturers the moveable parts of the A300 wing, which in total represent about 6% of the aircraft's total value. |
...
Anyway, I'm wrong - Fokker just manufactured them on license it seems.
Yes, yes I'm back.
Somewhat.
