LOL. I thought the Americans were on our side.

The SAAB VIGGEN was a very interesting aircraft.
Designed to land on major roads during war because air bases would be obvious targets. (we designed the HARRIER for the same reason)

Might have been the first aircraft in service to use Small flaps at the front to increase manoeuvrability.

Owned by the car manufacturer and used in the car advertisements, unfortunately grounded soon after.
