I don't know exactly what it is about the Draken, but I've always loved that shape!!

nice job

It's because it is a Swedish mean machine, as most SAAB's are, and they dared to be different, same with the Viggen.....................Of course it aint a Lightning or a Jaguar, but hey, the SAAB's are just as sexy.

The Draken was amazing for the era in which it was designed as the overall configuration was just about finalised as far back as 1949! Incredible.
