Here’s an interesting video, showing the SAAB J-37 Viggen at work in Sweden some years ago.
The footage brings you in the cockpit of the Swedish Air Force’s delta wing plane, at very low level, over unpopulated areas covered by snow and on the range, to fire rockets.
It was filmed by the F21 (21st Wing) at Luleå and Vidsel air bases.
The front line Viggen aircraft were retired from the Swedish Air Force in November 2005 and replaced by JAS 39 Gripen. A few examples were kept flying for electronic warfare training against Gripen before being eventually retired in June 2007.
H/T to Lars-Gunnar Holmström for sending the link to the video.
