A Saab Viggen:
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
Slava Ukraini!

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Too bad you've already used the Vulcan, it just made it's last flight 10/28/15. http://www.worldwarbirdnews.com/2015/11/01/avro-vulcan-xh558-final-flight/
ReplyDeleteMiss Fit, not too many people are aware that the Viggen was powered by a P&W JT8D (same engine that pushed the B-727 & DC-9 around) with reheat supplied by Volvo Flygmotor. Back then, afterburning turbofans were unusual. But it worked, dinnit?

Weird looking and weird sounding, but it got the job done!
ReplyDeleteAnother interesting point about the Viggen: it had a thrust reverser, to slow it quickly after landing. You can see (and hear) it at work in the last landing in the clip you selected.
