But last comment is real killer.... "Homma toimii ja peitto heiluu!" I think in USAF that comment could bring court martial..

I love the way the Fins use highways for landing strips.

The Saab 35 Draken. Don´t ask me why but I got a soft spot for that plane, ugly as it is...

I simply never developed much love for dart shapes. For me the best representation of modern airborne power and beauty is still the Su-27.

Me too, since we used Draken extensively too. Before we bought F-18s, we had Drakens and...MiG-21s...

(also some Swedish stuff in that video, but for example, the yellow Draken is from last flight of Draken in FAF, Buffalo is the squadron emblem)

Might also enjoy this one about F-18:

By the way, on first video, you can see carrier arresting gear used on road during night....sparks fly!

The Swedish know how to build good warplanes!

That is because Karla brainwashed you between 1945 and 1955.
