Ghosts and Thunder

Either that or do one of the 180 turns with the Reverser and just look at him ^^

Negative Nancy here. Are we going down this road yet again that the Viggen release is soon? I think this discussion was going on in June IIRC and we are still waiting... :)

Well we can all agree to disagree xD.

But either way we should hopefully know more on the 28th.

Don't agree at all. It's definitely nice ugly to me. Very imposing.

How can you call this aircraft Ugly? and Uglier then the A-10?...

But then again what do the Brits know about Designing Good looking aircraft ^^

Especially good looking jets...

I mean have you Seen the Blackburn Buccaneer

well it looks like one of those cheap nasty toy planes you used to get when you was a kid that was based on a 3 different planes due to license issues lol:pilotfly:

There is beauty in all things, it's just a matter of getting past your prejudice and taking the time to have a proper look. The viggen did not take much time at all, she is lovely.:love:

hmmm im not so sure. It just aint right... But its only my opinion and will i be buying on release.. You bet i will. She is still ugly though :megalol::joystick:

Jeez

I'm a Brit (obviously one with no taste) as I rate the Viggen close to the top or at THE top of beautiful aircraft

It was very innovative for its time, looks purposeful and menacing with the canards and large delta.

Laughing at the looks like a toy plane....................what about the Eurofighter, now that looks like they had a model of an F-16, an F-5 and a Viggen and then went to a VERY long design meeting, the results of which were then submitted to a committee

Been loving the Viggen thread for all the information, videos and photographs

Jeez

The Scottish have always been known for their good taste :thumbup:.

And, yet, Haggis.

And, yet, Haggis.

Well we Swedes have some food nobody else understands as well

(The big one being Surströmming)

So we can respect that ^^.

This is a very valid point!

Deep fry that Surströmming and we might be getting somewhere.

Anyway only the weekend to go before the stream, getting a little excited. It will be 4.30am Tues morning down here so if it not done automatically by twitch(I have no idea about these things) can someone please post a link after it's done to where I can watch it once I'm up.

And, yet, Haggis.

Mmmm, haggis...

Brits do pop out some good looking jets once in a while. Hunter and Harrier come to mind.

Thanks guys

Surströmming sounds interesting but I like Haggis.

The Hunter undoubted supermodel.

The Harrier more like that girl you are strangely attracted to but your mates think you've taken leave of your senses.

Viggen is a day one purchase.

Its probably already been mentioned but in a book on the SR71 it was stated that the Flygvapnet (forgive the spelling) used to practice (dummy) attacks on the SR71 when it flew through Swedish air space. The US reckoned the chance of a kill would have been improbable (more down to ordnance than aircraft).

Despite that the Viggen was considered one of the very few fighters that was a potential threat to the SR71.

Unfortunately the book is in a box in storage right now (house renovations)

Thanks for all the information in the other thread, especially "mattebubben" & "MiG21bisFishbedL" been fantastic finding out more about an aircraft I've really liked for about 30 years

Anyways I have dragged this thread horribly off topic so I'd better "get ma coat"

Nothing to forgive when the Spelling is correct ;)

:megalol:LOLOLOL:megalol::megalol:

Ed is not going that way ( I hope so)

Why anybody would chose a plane or another? Because they like it, if they like both they buy both. End of the story, if ED thinks that we buy because of "it is new" , well ED I have some bad news.

1 more day!
