A wing like an arrowhead with a kink, no horizontal stabilizer, a single tall fin: the Saab 35 Draken was Sweden’s Mach 2 fighter and, until 2005, the interceptor of the Austrian armed forces. Here is how to recognize it and where to find it today.
Saab 37 Viggen
Viggen
Large delta wing, canards ahead of it, thrust reverser at the tail: the Saab 37 Viggen was Sweden’s Cold War combat jet. Here is how to recognize it, which versions there were and where you can still see it fly today.
Saab JAS 39 Gripen
