I've always liked Viggen, ever since I was a little kid. There is something special about it I can't explain. In the early 90s, when you heard the sound, all kids ran out of the house, hoping to catch a glimpse of them :)
The current Swedish fighter Jas Gripen can also land and take off from any straight 500m road. Sweden is now returning to this kind of airbase thinking.
0:45. That road is 1 kilometer long. 1 km = 0.62137 miles. That's a road for the air force to land and refuel and to load the plane with new ammunition. That way the fighter pilot doesn't have to head back to the base for fuel and ammunition. 1:48. He said. Our bas for refueling and to reloading.
Just started playing DCS World and bought the Viggen as my first module. I wanted a plane that felt like flying in a death star trench with a Xwing fighter, and the Vigggen is that 😅❤
yes the music is really cheesy but im so proud over them. i grew up during cold war and these are the men and women that made sure me and my brothers stayed safe
I remember being shown this film at the beginning of my military service as a conscript in the early 90s. Yes, we found the music and storytelling outdated and amusing even then. One of my tasks was to be that guy on the motorcycle who drive just in front of a roaring Viggen, guiding its way to the hidden maintenance site.
12:39 blows by stop sign... lol Saab is free of traffic laws (well if you have the Saab that arguably could have shot down an SR-71...) then cue Smoky and the Bandit music...
This has quickly become one of my favorite vids on youtube since I found it a couple months ago. Any idea if the air base featured in the movie can be still found on google maps? I assume it's no longer used.
Some of them are no longer in use but can still be seen on Google maps. This is probably not the same location but a similar one close to where I live. If you start from maps.app.goo.gl/AMjnjLpTLsKJRKMx8 and follow the road to the east until roughly maps.app.goo.gl/cHjjEcAtrgtUsMNr5 you can see a number of sideroads and staging positions on either side of the road. Some even still have the tree coverage from the top and the road present. And it is also coloquially called "Flygrakan" which roughly translates to the "Flight-straight"...
The simulator has the call sign "Olle zero two", "Olle" being the Swedish word (actually a surname, as most of the Swedish spelling alphabet) for the letter "O". That is the 15th letter in the alphabet so the simulator was most likely placed on the 15th air wing (F15) in Söderhamn. That also fits nicely with F15 Söderhamn being one of the wings equipped with SAAB 37 Viggen, and specifically the AJ37 variant (primary role being Attack ("A"), secondary role being fighter (J for "jakt")). The plane being serviced on the road base has a marking "15" on its nose - again indicating the F15 wing. Again suggesting this is an AJ37. The tail has a marking "23" so its callsign is "Olle twenty-three". It's likely, but in no way certain, that the road base is somewhere "close" (50 - 150 km?) to Söderhamn. Early in the film there is a completely standard Swedish road sign marked "UOM". If you'd drive all Swedish roads in the 1980s you might think that theres an awful lot of places named "UOM". But this is actually a sign indicating a specific area of the base: "U" is short for "underhåll" (I think?) (English "maintenance") and "OM" is short for "område" (Enhlish "area") so the sign is pointing towards the "mainenance area". Other areas of a base where "FRAMOM" ("främre område"/"forward area") and "BAKOM" ("bakre område"/"rear area"). At FRAMOM where a few stands, 2-4, for planes that where available for more or less immediate sortie. BAKOM was an area, usually a few kilometers from FRAMOM, with dispersed stands for several planes. (I live about 10 km from a disused BAKOM that has roughly 15 stands).
Ska man hård dra det var det, var det AJ 37 = Attack och jakt. SH37 = Spaning Hav. SF37 = Spaning Foto och sist men inte minst. JA37 = Jakt och Attack, men det var i princip en helt annan kärra än dom övriga, även om alla kunde lösa många olika uppgifter.

viggen is a plane from sweden and it have the biggest engine ever😮 and it the fuel pump have 450 horespoers thats insane 🫡👍

yeah i dont get the returning, there wasnt any other fighter between the viggen and the gripen

Awesome plane! ... and the camouflage!... look how it blends in with the trees.👍

Remember sitting in the back seat of my fathers 240 GL listening to my father speaking obout these straight roads, here is prepared for fighter jets.
I love how 70s this is... Groovy documentary.

musiken var vald av strategiska skäl. dom hade glad musik för att inte skrämma upp folk.
Fantastiskt svensk video. Jäkligt bra.
This is such a great piece of history❤
Ultra cool music 💪🏆
Riktigt bra musik i denna video.
Digging the disco lounge soundtrack
Never called JAS-37 Only AJ37 SK37 SF37 SH37 and JA37 and later JA37C JA37D and JA37Di and AJS 37 AJSH37 and AJSF37
He mixed it with the Gripen because his memory is bad

Vet du vad låten heter vid 12:55?
Vad är det för bana som strudsplanen flyger av i nästan slutet på videon ? Är det en landningsbana eller en bilväg ?
Yea, I drove my viggen to work today
4:05 Name of the music? It just screams of the 80s
Music is composed by Lasse Samuelson. Looks like he's got a shit load of composed music so it's tough to find specific songs.
@@Lagmaster33 dude i seen this video so many times never known how to find the music thank you

När flög Viggen för första gången? 1967.
Staden i början av videon är Växjö från ovan 😊
Någon som vet vad låten heter som börjar 12:33?

Vad heter intro låten? Den är skit bra!
Jag letar o letar men hittar aldrig nån info! Får nästan ringa till 87 årige Lasse Samuelson som fixade musiken

Fantastisch ! Neutral Swedes……but véry well-armed 😅
Minns att dom stängde av E4 utanför Värnamo på 80-talet och gjorde start och landning från YA flygfält (F 17 )
Year date is 1980

There are a large number still available and in occasional use. I live close to one
"Inför landning"
"Nej, det finns inga flygbaser i närheten!"
"Vem sa något om flygbaser?"
This is propaganda that actually has its place. It inspires and recruits for the good of the citizens.
Its so unusual to see long haired hippies working on jets.😀
