A lineup of Drakans at a Swedish airbase, aometime in the late 60's. Anyone have a copy of the magazine this was on?? |
The Gripen 2-seat trainer, not a ground-attack two seater (like the Gripen needs two seats!) |
A one-seat Gripen, as they should be! This series of pics it from www.torget.se/users/c/choy/saabair.html a not-terribly-reliable page that only sometimes shows the pics. |
A ground static display of Saab aircraft old and new. These pics are from a website that is terribly unreliable, at |
A COOL postcard of a J22 WWII project NOT done by Saab, but noteable nonetheless as a Swedish designed fighter. |
|
A very nicely painted model of a J29 Tunnan in UN livery from the Congo campaign, I think it was 1958 or 59. |
...yawn...time to make the Drakens... |
The Sk60 light attack fighter variant of the Saab 105 |
An Austrian Saab 105 trainer/light attack version |
A Drakken in the first metallic color scheme from the early 60's |
|
A Viggen two-seat trainer in 80s camo colors |
My favorite Saab aircraft picture. This and LOTS more can be found at http://www.canit.se/~griffon/aviation/ |
Awesome Gripen shot over the Chilean Andes...more can be found at http://www.canit.se/~griffon/aviation/img/saab/ |
Lovely shot of a Saab 18 light bomber/recon plane from the 40s
|
A Viggen in fly-by mode. Beautiful! More shots from the airshow in '97 to follow... |
|
Fly by of a Saab 17 light bomber recon plane from WWII
|
The 17 shows it's huge landing gear spats to the crowd |
Ungainly looking thing, ain't it?
|
If you think it looks enormous on the ground, you should see it on FLOATS! |
Okay, so it's not a Saab, hell it's not even an aircraft, but the Swedes DO own some mighty fine looking armor! |
|
A Saab 340 commuter plane, done up in some local airline's livery. |
Another Draken, this one in green. Very low-slung plane, you can step right up and almost look in the cockpit from ground level. |
![]() A rare two-seater Viggen, used for training new pilots in the ways of the Force. |
An ad from the early 90's, showing the pedigree of the Saab from then till now. |
A Gulfstream bizjet c0nverted to RSAF AWACS duty; note the side-looking radar bar on top. |
|
A later Draken, in the NATO Grey scheme now widely used for ground attack craft |
