And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
From left to right, three SAAB aircraft: Viggen, Draken, Gripen. The Draken is the oldest, the Gripen the newest. When it comes to combat aircraft looks, in the U.S. F-4 Phantom is highly regarded as a mean-looking-machine, but I think that on that count the Viggen is every bit the Phantom's equal.
I like the middle one best.
ReplyDeleteUnless I'm mistaken that might be the older model of the three.........
DeleteThe Draken in the middle looks like something out of the Thunderbirds

ReplyDeleteThe Darken does have that "space aged" look to it. Wonder what its top end was?
