Back in the day, I was lucky to get to this airshow for the last 7 years of it's life - and I can very happily say that I enjoyed this display in 2013. I never tired of seeing the Viggen. 👍👍👍
Yes I like it more than its successor I wonder sometimes if it could not have been upgraded like you some other planes from that era the American F 15 for instance which I have a new model coming out this year
At the time Viggen was active, the Swedish defense minister was implying the importance of air superiority in modern warfare, copying the number of planes Britain had to defend their island from the Nazis. This idea carried on from the 50s when the Swedish defense developed Draken. Pretty crazy how such a small nation could have one of the largest air forces in the world, paired with the best plane of that era and with elite pilots and smart defense plans (the guerilla tactic with airplanes flying from random roads scattered all over the country).
Not many people knows this because the commentator rarely mention this during Airshows but the maneuver at 6:01 when he waves to the crowd, Viggen is actually the only plane in the world that can do this maneuver at this low speed, that makes you wonder how good this plane was in the old days when it first flew in 1967, the reason why it can do this is because of the double delta wings and the engine, it was once the largest jet engine in the world and you can understand why, it's 6.2 meters long, and with full AFB it gives 100.000 horsepower they say, although i believe it's more, the JA version could start within 300 meters give or take, the wings in the front helps here, there's just tons of power from the engine and tons of power to lift the plane at all speeds, after the Draken they wanted a plane that could maneuver properly at all speeds aswell on the ground.
"I'm a badass SR71.. I can do whatever I want to.. Let's fuck with the Swedes!" Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep *warning* *warning* "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.."
It's the first tim in decades we have flying Viggen, thank's to the guys at Swedish Historic Flight. I was a fligth technician at the F6 base when these planes was in service. It's a wonderful plane to work with, for example, it doesn't take mor than 4 hours tho change the engine in the field.... I'm delighted that it's airborne again, it's a majestic plane..
I love the commentators here, great sense of humour and knowledge in the field. "Stand by for a wee bit of noise". Brilliant! Thanks for shooting and uploading this Rik.
People consistently underestimate Swedish fighters. As the speaker says, it is the only airplane to ever accquire radar lock on an SR-71 while climbing. And they did so consistently. Radar lock was obtained on many occasions.
Wow. I get flashbacks from when I did my military duty (mandatory then) 1991. My job was to guard these aircrafts, it was about 40 viggen on the base I was on in Söderhamn. I sit and look at these planes going up and down for 11 months... but was impressed the whole time anyway.
Pretty funny, i heard a former Viggen pilot say that F-16 needs 2-3 kilometers to land the plane and Viggen around 300 meters, clarifies how amazing this plane is.
Yes it was always fun they weren’t going on car vacation when I was growing up and in south of Sweden it’s bonkers with the vegans are scattered on normal roads which they of course have made straight but they sure are not very long so very early short takeoff on that and landing!
Yes, it was made to use road-bases. Swedish military understood that their air bases would be knocked out at once in a Soviet attack, so road-bases were the only viable option. JAS Gripen still uses them today with a turnaround time of 10 min using 5 or so conscripts. Making the most of the planes we have.
And the car alarms goes off! A customer of mine is a Viggen and JAS pilot and he knows this pilot. The 7 in the front means its from F7 Såtenäs in Sweden. His old base :) I have photographed this plane in June 2014 on a show in Sweden...
Really nice to hear all the nice words about our planes and pilots, much appreciated! I live near an old “temporary airfield”, it’s just a piece of straight public road and connected to it, a couple of small camouflaged hangars. I saw them train with Viggens once as a child, I will never forget that :)
when i was a kid living out at the countryside we had a couple of viggens now and then flying above during the summers, could just lie on the grass and watch them for hours :D was so awsome, and on occation some even did a low flyby that scared the crap out of us :D, rem 1 pilot once that was so low that he almost touched the treetops with the his plane.. was insane lol =)
@@briananthony4044 Most of them were converted to F-version with afterburner. When they operated in Kongo for UN, they used the older B-variant without afterburner, because they needed the longer range that version had.
Oh, the memories... When I was a kid in the early eighties the Viggens and Drakens used to do everyday patrols around the shores of Gotland and Fårö in the Baltic sea. The sound was awesome and sometimes they flew so low we could see the pilots waving to us when we were playing on the beaches. Those were the (cold war) days. Sigh...
What beautiful aircraft. I remember seeing them are HEARING them when i was a new kid. Nowdays i never set fighter jets, or hear them. Viggen could really ROOOAAAR and we kids looked in AWE watching them fly FAST over us, a second after came to VVRRRRWWWWWZZZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRR;
remember when i was a kid and the Viggen was still in service. you could always hear it when it passed overhead. nowdays they fly the jas gripen, and they fly at much higher altitude and its also much less noisy.
Usually the Swedish historic flight Viggen would demonstrate a reverse thrust landing,reverse in the runway and full power take off from the opposite way it had taken off,But when I thought it was about to do that a J-29 Tunnan took the runway.
I am now 60 years young. I grew up with both the Draken and the Viggen, both jet fighters caught my imagination and admiration. SAAB of Sweden continues to break new ground and all the rules, thank goodness, with the Gripe 'E'. Well done SAAB and well done to the people of Sweden for maintaining your weaponry independence. Was hoping in vain, that Australia would purchase the Gripen 'E', but unfortunately they bought the very expensive and unreliable F35 from the yanks. Politics and trade, no doubt. Good thing we still have some F18 Super Hornets for now. May need to keep them operational even after the F35's arrive, just in case war breaks out! Australia still has 65x F111 fighter bombers moth balled, so better revive them as well. Seriously!!!
yeah me too but sometime they do seem to go along way out for their maneuvers, considering they can turn on a sixpence they seem to take along time to get back to crowd line...... i guess its harder to move 4 than one safely in a small space so to speak.......all good stuff anyway. Many tx for the upload anyway
I remember them from the late 60s together with at least three-four other jetfighters types in the Swedish arsenal-in those days we built roads, houses, industries, and jet fighters in a well-organized society (and what happened with the old idea from that era to man the UN with jet fighters).
Yes Peter Linde'n will also have said I quote "since I've been stationed on the F6 airwing in the attack Viggen unit, sex is just the second best experience you can have on earth".
It has been revealed that during the cold war, the Russians put a lot of energy into maping out the lives of the Swedish fighter pilots, such as where they lived, their habits and so on. The purpose of this intelligence work was to allow special "murder patrols" to take care of the pilots even before an attack against Sweden began. The russians were not particulary keen on having to confront the Viggen...
So the pilots and family wouls have to be brought on based for their safety prior to a suspected attack. Did Swedish intelligence know this at the time?
Yes they did, or it was suspected to the point that it was taken for granted. It was assumed in military planing scenarios at the time at the very least.
Swedish pilots didn't fly bellow 20 meters over land because below that you didn't have to report and put masts and power lines on the map! 10m over water and 20 meters over land was "judged height" ie: the pilot thought it was about that! And it was above the actual ground not above the treetops so it might be just a few feet over the highest spruce! It was no uncommon for pilots to return with phone lines lodged between the external tank and aircraft or parts of pine trees stuck the planes.
it turned out to be a really nice show..what with the vulcan and reds, the f16s (especially the turksolo), the extra and the viggen, the let down for me was the typhoon.........seemed to be, i dunno.........lacking somehow? maybe it needs some smoke? fantastic day either way and what a gorgeous peace of weather! One to remember having never seen a viggen fly
It was the 1980s. The USA would frequently fly over the Baltic Sea with its SR-71 Blackbird at very high altitudes and up to three times the speed of sound. Despite the fantastic performance of the aircraft, Swedish interceptors were able to get a lock-on with its weapon systems during several different occasions with a Viggen and pilot P O Eldh. :)
i remember when back in the 80´s we had a russian sub that ran aground in karlskrona, and the Swedish goverment wich had more balls back then then now orderd the borderds to be held scrambeld viggen fighters in and they come screaming in at tree top level a top the sub, and the commander of the sub was getting nervous 8-)
And risk an escalation into fullscale war? Over something as insignificant as a breach of territorial waters? Scramble fighter jets to deal with a sub? Incredibly stupid too when they already had the navy to deal with that. Seriously. The cold war is over and an obscure incident nobody remembers really has no place in a video about a fighter aircraft. People in the Balkans have plenty of balls and look what that led them to? Maybe they could have learned from the diplomacy of smarter nations. Of course there are a few people sharing the Balkan "more balls" mentality in Scandinavia as well but most people value astute thinking over balls.
WeRnotDone WithU If I remember correctly the reason the Viggens were scrambled was due to the Soviet's sending their fleet towards Sweden to retrieve it. The sub didnt just breach territorial waters but was spying on military bases, it was also carrying nuclear weapons so it was a major diplomatic crisis at the time..
Beautyful angels of this great 50 years old aircraf when he was inn use togehter with the 32 ajs Lansen in differen verision (Mach 1,5) and the 35 Jetdragon ! also Mach 2.2 as the 37 viggen to ! the strong swedish airforce was made by rhem ! many of the has also opertatew by the gripen one of grippens strenght the its low weight, especaly beside its sister 37 viggen ! now the gripen have taken the older planes Place all over ! Magnus ! they all are swede made by SAAB
Sweden lost like 600 pilots during the cold war era, without firing a single shot. They trained crazy maniac like senarios, as close to real fighting as possible, unfortunately with many accidents as a result. I can well imagine the viggen wings being quite formiddable at their job.
mrairshowpilot Wow, talk about English fail in my post :) It's suppose to say "used to". During the cold war, Sweden did indeed have the world 4th largest air force.
Yeah, I did my military service in the Swedish Royal Air Force (on the ground) and I remember all my internal organs vibrating when they took off. To us, the Viggen was known as the aircraft equivalent of an american car - loud, thirsty and not that agile around corners.
80Loke I can well believe it after been stood next to a EE Lightening with both after burner going and having my fillings rattled and my insides turned to jelly.The power from these jets is amazing
+adde staxx Nja det tycker jag inte, JA 37 Viggen hade likvärdig prestanda som JAS 39 Gripen, anledningen varför JA 37an togs ur tjänst så "tidigt" som den gjordes 2005 var att Gripen var billigare i drift, så aliasjag har inte fel någonstans.
Viggen är klart häftigare änn Jas helt klart . Sett massor med uppvisningar med Viggen och endel med jas . Visst Jas är modernare mindre & billigare i drift. Viggens motor producerade vi 100% i Trollhättan på flygmotor/volvo aero . jas:en F 404 lite modefierad ca 10% svensktillverkad E eller N (hur man nu vill utrycka sig) F 414 versionen blir det 0% den blir USA tillverkad fullt ut verkar det som . Men helt klart Viggen är coolare mäktigare & den sköna basmattan så det känns i hela kroppen är helt klart massivt imponerande . Vi fasade tyvärr ut den 20 år förtidigt och snabbt som bra fasen skrota av mängder . Finns ytterst få kvar
Amassing to hear all the car alarms go off after the Viggen took off! :-)
Back in the day, I was lucky to get to this airshow for the last 7 years of it's life - and I can very happily say that I enjoyed this display in 2013. I never tired of seeing the Viggen. 👍👍👍

ESP87 whats the point with that maneuver? Hes just shaking
@@rpe11 Good control at low speeds to land on short and narrow stretches of road's in all shit weather you can imagine.
The EEL had over 120,000 Hp with two engines. It weighed less and had far less drag and could outperform this fabulous brute.
I’ve seen loads of aircraft do that.
and on take off canards are LIFTING the nose , instead of having tailplane FORCING THE TAIL DOWN , doesn't that sound like a good idea ??

When you know the beasts are on your side, it's a good feeling.
1:13 first car alarm triggered.
SAAB engeneers are always thinking out of the box. I very much like SAAB 35 Draken and SAAB 37 Viggen.
JAS 39 Gripen is more ordinary but good too.
Wow it takes off so fast, what a beautiful plane.
The plane at the end of video we call it "flying barrel" in Sweden.
It seems to have an afterburner, that is new to me.
@@briananthony4044 Most of them were converted to F-version with afterburner. When they operated in Kongo for UN, they used the older B-variant without afterburner, because they needed the longer range that version had.
Saab Tunnan. I guess thats the name of the flying barrel.
This noise takes me back to when I was six years old it’s in our summer camp meeting at the coast just wow when he flew by at high-speed!
Definition of beauty.

Beautiful Viggen
it was one of the planes I was looking forward to seeing and it did not disapoint
What a 'plane! I didn't know they were flying one again - hopefully I'll catch it next year.
smashing upload, do you have the part with the tunnan as well Rik?
sorry no i did not film it only got whats on this film
I think he meant ten meters over the treetops or sea level?.
Amazing !
Yes Peter Linde'n will also have said I quote "since I've been stationed on the F6 airwing in the attack Viggen unit, sex is just the second best experience you can have on earth".
0-1000 km/h in less than one minute. Go Viggen! 💪🏻

Swedish pilots didn't fly bellow 20 meters over land because below that you didn't have to report and put masts and power lines on the map!

It was no uncommon for pilots to return with phone lines lodged between the external tank and aircraft or parts of pine trees stuck the planes.
The Viggen was one of the best Fighter-Bomber of her time. Cheap and effectiv in multi roles. And his time far ahead in many categories. Bye Hans..
Cheap i dont know! The viggen was the most expensive investment in swedish history in that time! Dont know if it still is
Remarkable aircraft anyway.
I love this beast thanks for sharing
Next Air Show UK for the viggen is September 7
RAF Leuchars Air Show,
it turned out to be a really nice show..what with the vulcan and reds, the f16s (especially the turksolo), the extra and the viggen, the let down for me was the typhoon.........seemed to be, i dunno.........lacking somehow? maybe it needs some smoke? fantastic day either way and what a gorgeous peace of weather! One to remember having never seen a viggen fly
The viggen was a noisy aircraft. Sounded like a space rocket. The ground would shake like an earthquake...
I would have liked a 2,5 Mach fly past.......low lewel.......did you see it?....it is capable...
Sadly not they are not allowed to fly above Mach 0.9 in the uk
the other show is it RIAT?
no i don't think so it was for one later in the year sunderland seems to ring a bell. But not 100%
Respect to Sweden....what a beast!! 💪
And the car alarms go .."Beeep"
ESPirits87; 2-3 km? I live not too far away from a under 1400 meter strip where F-16 have landed for over 30 years.
"Sorry i can't hear you over the sound of how Awesome i am"
Don't tell me the Viggen didn't express that on takeoff :)
Guess in the end bahasa appeared
Are u mock me??
Swedish Viggen also was our own "Blackbirdtreater"! Once around SAAB I Heard someone name the Blackbird,a "Dieselrobot"
It was the 1980s. The USA would frequently fly over the Baltic Sea with its SR-71 Blackbird at very high altitudes and up to three times the speed of sound. Despite the fantastic performance of the aircraft, Swedish interceptors were able to get a lock-on with its weapon systems during several different occasions with a Viggen and pilot P O Eldh. :)

Wow, talk about English fail in my post :) It's suppose to say "used to".
During the cold war, Sweden did indeed have the world 4th largest air force.
+yellstrom Indeed we did. When we flew the Draken.
I think we had about 700 planes ready at all times. Now we have about 100.
3th largest
In the 50's and 60's we had a large airforce an lost like 2 pilots a month :-(

Viggen är klart häftigare änn Jas helt klart . Sett massor med uppvisningar med Viggen och endel med jas . Visst Jas är modernare mindre & billigare i drift.
Viggens motor producerade vi 100% i Trollhättan på flygmotor/volvo aero . jas:en F 404 lite modefierad ca 10% svensktillverkad E eller N (hur man nu vill utrycka sig) F 414 versionen blir det 0% den blir USA tillverkad fullt ut verkar det som .
Men helt klart Viggen är coolare mäktigare & den sköna basmattan så det känns i hela kroppen är helt klart massivt imponerande . Vi fasade tyvärr ut den 20 år förtidigt och snabbt som bra fasen skrota av mängder . Finns ytterst få kvar
