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.
The SAAB 210, an experimental aircraft built to test the double delta wing concept that would be used on the Draken. The two pitot static tubes are extended into the 'clear' air to get accurate airspeed data. It looks like the right wing has short strips of yarn taped to the surface so that the airflow can be observed. Al_in_Ottawa

That explains why it looks like the jet you'd get into as an escape pod if the actual aircraft had a problem.
