[About the actual machine]
The Saab Viggen is a jet fighter aircraft developed, deployed and operated independently by Sweden in Northern Europe.
Development began in 1961 as a successor to the Draken.
The first flight was successful in 1967, and deployment and operation began in 1971.
The aircraft is equipped with canards on both sides of the cockpit and has delta wings.
The aircraft is equipped with one Pratt & Whitney JT8D-22 engine.
It boasted a maximum speed of Mach 2.1 and STOL performance, allowing it to take off and land on short runways.
It was fitted with a 30mm Oerlikon KCA cannon as a fixed armament, and was also capable of carrying RB71 Skyflash short-range air-to-air missiles.
A total of over 300 aircraft were produced.
In 2002, the 1st Squadron of the 10th Air Wing produced a commemorative painted aircraft to commemorate the wing's disbandment.
-The Viggen, whose aircraft is painted entirely red, is called `Red Viggen`, and the ghost of the unit markings is painted in white on the nose and main wings.
The aircraft is still on display in a museum in Sweden.
