It's hard to believe the Draken first flew back in 1955 because even now in 2022 it's a sleek, beautiful, futuristic-looking fighter jet.

Definitely one of the coolest Cold War Era designs.

1:26 I remember that sound from when i was a 6 year old living close to an airbase in Sweden in the 80s. Sometimes they came in for a turn, flying in pairs with slightly different enginerevs which made a very certain phasing sound in the air and it was just amazing for a young aviationentusiast.

Thanks for sharing! 😊

One of the most advanced fighter aircraft of its time and one of the coolest looking ever! Thanks for sharing! 👍

Amazing being able to hear that jet engine switching from after burner off to after burner on... i was just waiting for the sonic boom to happen.

[MaxAviationVideos]

Seeing the long tailed 35's ignite their afterburner is just something ELSE isn't it!? :) <3

[littlebritain]

I always loved the fighters from Sweden! Self made and high performance wonders!

[andersandersson]

Draken was build as a high speed interceptor with a decent amount of offensive weapons. Fast gain altitude, attack the target and then return to base. As a domestic, engineering project in Sweden, I think they came up with an excellent high speed interceptor. Draken can perform the famous Cobra maneuver. Thanks for the upload!

one of the Loudest planes I have heard <3 Truly a beuty

[bobingram]

Still got it after all these years, that's what you call a proper airshow display, beats all this new stuff.

[blleman]

Got to love the small tail wheels .... Swedish practicallity :-) I saw this plane and the viggen when I was in Sweden in 1990 (IACE). Best voyage ever.

[lawrencemartin]

Turning money into noise with the loud lever on 'full loud'. Wonderful. Great filming and a truly wonderful aircraft. Still so clear to see the lineage in all the Swedish fighters; Viggen, Draken, and the Gripen. All great aircraft.

In the nordic mythology, and also others, the DRAKEN (Dragon) is standing for enormous Power, Destruction and Might. This flying weapon, the SAAB 35 is showing it perfect - until today... really a Dragon ! LIKE and Thank You, PaddyPatrone !!!

[russellbateman]

Swedish technology: understated and rockin'!

[jimlathroum]

The last climb on afterburner, before landing, was awesome!

[FritzKraut]

remember these powerfull birds on any summer hollidays visiting our Swedish relatives in Askersund in the early sixties. What wonderfull times back then.

[stuartwren]

Like something from a sci fi film. Not into jets but that is exceptional! 🇬🇧

[timw]

Sleek beautiful aircraft, what an amazing era it was for aircraft design.

[chrismaggio]

If they rolled that out of a hangar for the first time this year it would frighten the fighter community! It still has the coolest look of almost any fighter ever designed (IMHO). Almost spacecraft-like.

[mitchellrider]

Had no idea it was that agile! Gotta love turbo jets, afterburners and the smell of their exhaust.
