GreyKnight Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Pretty damn impressive... JA-37 Viggen STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) Quote
gec Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 hmm...quite hard landing, don't u think? these landing gears must be very strong. Quote
Rattler Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 We were just talking about the Viggen on Saturday. AFAIK, it's the only jet fighter that can reverse like that (except the Harrier of course). It is one of my favorite planes. Quote
Jediteo Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I've heard the the swedish pilots were overjoyed with the viggen, as it was a significant improvement over the Draken. Both are very very pretty planes. Amazing sound when the Viggen reverses. BTW Viggen mean either a thundebolt or type of bird (the Turfed Duck) Draken can mean both Dragon or a kite. Quote
gec Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 hmm interesting. in Croatian we also have a word that can be dragon or kite. Quote
