What is that stuff on top of the yellow paint??? Could it be several "political comments" from reactionary pigeons???

Those old Saab Drakens are going out of duty and they painted one of their "Dragons" in their groups colors, With that raging bull  

I gotta admit planes looked prettier at those times...
New planes are F/A-18 Hornets... and those sure are ugly

F-22 Pretty nice? That fat thing? Not in this world....  

btw:

Manufacturing of Draken started 1959 and second prototype(1955 or -56) was first plane capable to keep up continuous supersonic speed (later models Mach 2).

YOU ARE JUST WRONG!!!!
LOL!

but believe it or not, all that thing needed was some dents fixed and new back gear and it was eady to fly again..  also bare in mind that was prototype testing run, they didnt know what that thing could and would do, so being smart people they decided to find out....10 feet off the ground!.

Well, it looks like it almost meets Russian standards for toughness!  Now, if they could lift that thing onto its wheels, and have it take-off right then w/o mishap, then you've got an aircraft as tough as the Russians

Bekaa valley.

Any more "toughness" questions?
