The Swedes had it right all those years ago. Both of those outstanding machines look like they were designed last week. So Cool.

[@agskytter8977]

No, they were designed by George Lucas 🙂

[@CraigWelsh-lm3wg]

@agskytter8977 😄 🤣 😂 Yeah, they look something from Star Wars! Speaking of, I just watched a KZbin video of an RC X Wing Fighter that actually flies! So cool.

[@kjell-akeapell3285]

They are old machines,from 1950-60.But you know.

[@michastaneke2791]

I highly respect the Swedish aviation industry

[@Kevin-Brent]

Both aircraft were far ahead of their time. 😎 And exotic looking too!

[@bobsurgranny]

Absolutely. Futuristic mean looking machines bursting with character. Love that shot of the Vigg heading toward the shore side on

[@kingnorlen]

Indeed, the Draken was around one and a half decade ahead of their time!

[@Wonkabar007]

That green camo viggen is a thing of beauty 😍 Very good job filming, it's tough on the ship with all the rigging about and lots of people on deck it's quite a challenge, but a great day out.

[@-NiEr]

The Viggens were used flying at 30-50 metres, above fir forests. That's why this green color scheme...

[@damonrobus-clarke533]

Was a great day, was on the Shieldhall myself on Friday. 😃

[@bobsurgranny]

Viggen sure looked the bees knees when the sun kissed it

[@Norsenormand]

When you hear the Viggen engine, you never forget it....

[@bobsurgranny]

Sounded bloomin' great when it flew over heading toward the shore

[@MrUnicornone]

@@bobsurgranny There´s not a brick chimney standing i the nearest neighbor hoods where Viggen was stationed, they are all nicely padded with steel :=) When the afterburner lights up the air shivers.. Almost every day after school i hopped on my bike bike riding down to the base watching them get prepared, take off, land and stored again. The tail fin and rudder is foldable 90 degrees to fit in underground hangars which was fit for the smaller Draken.

[@Johan_Fasth]

You feel it to. :)

[@thormichaelpleym4975]

This clip makes me remember my youth in Malmoe, in south of Sweden, in the 70ths. Often they came flying over us in groups of blended Drakens and Viggens. Impressing it was, especially when they flew very low. The sound was overwhelming. / Micke P

[@bobsurgranny]

Man what fantastic memories you must have from those flying days in Sweden. Thanks for sharing and commenting

[@TheMack]

Very nicely filmed! As a kid I was totally mesmerized everytime I saw a Viggen fly past! It was, and will forever be, my favorite jet! ❤

[@bobsurgranny]

Thanks. Wicked looking mean machine and so futuristic, doesn't look old even today.

[@glacieractivity]

As a Norwegian, I am obliged to at least pretend to hate our next of kin 🙃, but it must be said - the Swedish fighter-jet programme is outstanding in global post-WW2 military history. As a kid of the 70s and 80s growing up in the valley that then was the NATO "Mach-loop" in Norway, I got to spend my summer job high on the hills/towards the peaks, looking down on anything NATO was flying low. I got to see Harriers, F-15s, F-16s, F-18s, F4s, Tornados, Jaguars, Dassaults, AlphaJets, Buccaneers, F-111 and of course TONS of F-16s from home and partner nations around the North Sea. Twice I got to see something that really does not compute when you saw it - the B-1Bs rubbing their bellies against the pine tree tops. It is an absolute mindblowing sight to watch a thing the size of a Boeing 737 with wings swept racing up a Norwegian valley at M.9 towards the Snøhetta bomb range. (I probably have forgotten some while I sadly never got to see the F-14 since they did not fly low (at least back then). I will, however, add that it was always a good day when visiting Sweden on summer holiday and seeing Swedish pilots giving their Drakens and Viggens a nice belly rub against the spruce around Østersund. Not much topography to hide behind, but it sure did not stop them from trying 👍. It is a hoot to have our cousins in Finland and Sweden on "Team Blue". And better it will become as all four "Nordies" are busy getting our respective next-gen aircraft off production lines and into full operational capacity over the next few years

[@broman6662]

These are my two fav planes. I grew up in the 80 nearby a military airbase and saw them flying almost every day. Few things nowadays makes me proud for being a swede, but all our fighter jets do!

[@Dakkonblackblade689]

Same here

[@maximilliancunningham6091]

Draken, was studied by the USAF light Weight Fighter Mafia, in development of the the YF-16. Among contemporaries, it had low wing loading, and a good P/W ratio, with good manoeuvrability.

[@-NiEr]

Viggens "helped" the USAF in another way... 😎 kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2a9Y3WYYtyhotUsi=BqIFcs3fnHG_LkYr

[@PSA78]

I grew up in the 80's close to an airforce base, so Viggen was the soundtrack of my youth as they were buzzing like bee's over our house all day. 🤘😄

[@JazzbLu]

Thank you for sharing such amazing planes with us from all around the world! It is so wonderful that we can relax and watch these videos from your hard worn! Thank you!

[@bobsurgranny]

You're welcome! Happy to know you appreciate and enjoy watching them, that's the cherry on top. Thanks for your support and commenting too

[@christopherabbott7132]

Excellent video 📹 Bob, great to see 👀 something different displaying at an Airshow rather than the norm. Love both of these Aircraft, wouldn't look out of place today 👍😎!!!!!!

[@bobsurgranny]

Thanks. Pleased you enjoyed the footage. That is true, such futuristic mean looking machines

[@ElwynR]

Nice to see a different angle and better light 👌 although you seem to be battling other elements!

[@HeidiHofmann-t8w]

Oh wow, excellent video, great sounding gorgeous jets, thank you very much,Heidi ❤🤗😁👍

[@alexmcmeekin2658]

Loved the shape of the Draken, but the Viggen was a serious piece of kit for it's time. I believe that it and the Lightning were the only interceptors that were known to have successfully been able to get within guaranteed air to air missile launch range of the SR71s. In the UK the overflights of the SR71s were used as practice opportunities by the Radar defence and RAF and were pretty successful. I believe the Swedes did much the same.

[@susan8477]

Brilliant to see these two together 👌👍❤️

[@bobsurgranny]

Absolutely was a real treat and a first for me

[@jadams3427]

Some very nice jets, flying very smoothly, filmed equally smoothly. Super video !

[@stollen2827]

When they took of for the display at Bournemoth airshow they flew over my house! I live 2km from where they are stationed !!

[@ESPirits87]

Seeing a Viggen is rare, seeing the SK37 even more rare, nice that you got closer to them on the boat, because they're not allowed to fly closer to the beach that's the place to be.

[@bobsurgranny]

Nice treat when the Viggen flew right over the boat and sounded great heading into the shore. Thanks for the comment

[@HelixRsix]

Gotta love the old Vig and it’s splinter camo and I think that the Thunder Birds tv series actually used the Draken as a base design for one of their aircraft in one of there shows but I might be mistaken

[@bobsurgranny]

Great looking mean machines. That green camo really suits the viggen

[@douglas_brighty_tan127]

Now that is elegantly beautiful retro aircraft of the Viggen and Draken dancing fabulously in the skies 😎🤩

Viggen pilots used to be called “pine cone pickers” because of their extreme low flying ability!

Love the Draken silhouette (more so since they were flying around when I was a kid) but the Viggen is like from a video game. Up there with the F-117 and a few others.

[@woooster17]

I suddenly have a craving for Dorito’s 😁 Comment for the algorithm 👍🏼

[@Benderswe1]

ah amazing aircrafts, i still remember visiting my dads base at F21 seeing and being abel to sit in them as a kid...ah those were the days 8-)

[@bobsurgranny]

Ah man that's fantastic!

[@airplanespotter-g5r]

I have a saab viggen model!!

[@bobsurgranny]

niiiice!

[@angaudlinn]

Hearing that sound is like being five again, playing outside at the family vacation home and suddenly being shaken by this roar from two Viggen planes passing low above the tree tops. Those silhouettes was easy to learn too...

[@patrickroos739]

Ok the first test flight of the J35 Draken was made late fifties, but it was not in service until 1960, and the J37 Viggen 1967 and service 1971. But wish we had these planes in the fifties...😂

[@bobsurgranny]

yeah I know. Just plumbed in the title as put 50s on the draken one a cuppla weeks ago

[@AdurianJ]

Had Gripen not been built the backup plan was an attack version of the Draken with new outer wings pylons and landing gear, it would carry the RBS-15 anti ship missile. On the fighter side the Viggen would get an F110 engine and all moving canards. Those where the alternatives in the early 80's if Gripen was not built and a foreign aircraft was not procured.

[@tsangarisjohn]

Beautiful planes ❤

[@bobsurgranny]

Indeed they are. Pleased you enjoyed watching

[@lionfromthenorth4580]

Those aircrafts were seen in the sky several times a week when I was a child. After a while I got used to it and stopped notice them. (Later on Swedish idiot politics decided to close down a big part of our defence units... )

[@ESPirits87]

3:08 You can really hear how powerful the Viggen engine is.

[@bobsurgranny]

Sounded great there rumbling back into the shoreline, I looked up over the camera and the shape was stunning over the backdrop

[@mickyday2008]

Great vid. Bet I’ve got a pic of you on the steam ship from the beach! Shame they went home on Friday

[@bobsurgranny]

Cheers. That would be mad I was up the back

[@Jerre27]

That Draken flew over belgium after the airshow, heard it, didn't see it.

[@bobsurgranny]

better than nothing ;)

[@Rogge73]

Draken still looks like a space craft, developed in the 1950:s just nuts!! ❤😮

[@StenEriksson]

Great shots!

[@bobsurgranny]

Thanks

[@gangalo68]

The Viggen was even more rarely seen in the 1950’s. It flew its maiden flight 1967.

[@bobsurgranny]

Ha I put 50s thinking of just the draken

[@technomattanbadbollisch1113]

Nice picture, but why did you stand next to a noisy fan? 😬😤

[@bobsurgranny]

best of the worst.. best bit at the back wasn't open to public..

[@bofomalsi4146]

The Draken is powered by Rolls Royce so a bit angloswedish. Todays Gripens have also several UK made parts although not the engines.

[@andreastornesel8404]

Or the other way around, UK gets alot of aero carbon compisite from SAAB

[@0e32]

The fuelpump at viggen has 108 Hp...It is designed as a Swedish nuke carrier..

[@elementsofnatureSWE]

J35 and JA37 mechanic / technician here. Love those two types of Jetfighters, they show an era when Sweden were strong and still were a great country to be proud of! Today everything is just sloppy and built badly. If people knew how bad the J39 really is, no one would never really dare to fly them And for god sake, do not buy a Volvo *LOL*

[@bobsurgranny]

What makes the Gripen so bad?

[@tuesdayjames5470]

Ja, vad ska man säga, växte upp nära F18 Tullinge. 70-tal, innan var det Hawker Hunter där. Blev sedermera livgardist i armén. Vi har mycket att vara stolta över.
