Pushed for power apparently.

Does this mean that the Army can now go out and total a USAF F-35?

Tell me if in this picture it doesn’t look like a Colonial Viper Mk. III ?

Yes, from that angle it 100% does, but from any other angle Draken looks far cooler than the Viper :wink:

Cockpit tour at around 20:00… despite being mechanical instruments rather than touchscreens, the cockpit looks surprisingly modern!

I have always loved the lines/look of the Draken. Maybe just the camera angle but it looks a lot smaller than I imagined?

The front end is tiny - we’re used to jets with huge radar dishes in the nose - and the jet seems sleek, but where the wing blends with the fuselage it’s actually quite thick so I imagine the jet has a reasonable fuel capacity?

True! It was a doomsday interceptor, designed to reach the bombers as far out as possible and launch the missiles. RTB wasn’t a priority.
