Military Aviation In Sweden


Sweper

My father worked on the J35 Draken in the 70's, used to tell my quite some stories, such as pilots using their landing gear to make tracks on the hangars, but also some less then jovial stories.

I had the privilege to seat in the cockpit of a Gripen and to admire the demo flight of the test pilot . Not only it is (probably) the only aircraft i saw backing up ( sorry - in reverse!) but it is also extremely versatile and unsurpassed in maintenance short time - to my knowledge. There's a big issue over here about what Romanian Air Force should buy - Gripen or F-16.

Ahh the J21, wonderful aircraft, the J21R was the jet version, they just replaced the pusherprop with a jet. Dad said its quite a strange aircraft to work on, they had one in the 70's for practice.
