A tip is F10 outside Ängelholm in Skåne. Small museum, more of a "gubbdagis" (old man kindergarten) to be honest, but worth the visit if you need a food stop. Surprisingly big collection considering the small size. They have, or had at least, a functioning Draken cockpit simulator. Real electromechanical Frankenstein of a thing. Oh yes. If you're lucky you might see a Koenigsegg test driving as they are built next door...

A former RAF pilot writing about when he got to fly with the Viggen: “‘The first to go up in the Viggen was our boss, Hilton Moses. I remember going out with him to the aeroplane and seeing him laughing and smiling, and then seeing him getting out and coming back to the crewroom looking like he’d just been put through some kind of crazy combination between a fairground ride and a washing machine. Then I went flying in the afternoon, and it changed my life. ‘They would fly around at Mach 0.95, 650kt give or take a bit, and they trained at 10m. We flew through firebreaks in trees, we flew all over northern Sweden at 30ft, and we never went below 600kt. All of this, I should add, was done under about a 150 to 200ft overcast with no breaks. In the RAF, anybody who wanted to get old would not have flown in that weather. After about 40 minutes, we pulled up into cloud, and the pilot then flew a 4-degree hands-off approach with his hands on his head into a remote airstrip, landed, reversed into a parking bay, did an engine-running refuel without any communication with the people on the ground except hand signals, taxied out and took off in the direction that we’d landed in. Wind direction just wasn’t factored. Then we did some approaches onto roadways, flying at 15 or 20ft to clear the cars and warn them that there were going to be some aeroplane movements before doing practice approaches. And the aerobatics beggared belief. ‘The next day, it was time to take the Swedish pilots flying in the Jaguar. I was at a bit of a loss as to how I was going to explain to this guy that we flew at 420kt when they flew at 620kt. So I decided that the way ahead was to leave the part-throttle reheat in, accelerate to 620kt and then give him the aeroplane. That’s what I did - I took off, and gave him control at 620kt and about 150ft. He pushed the nose down, took the Jaguar down to 30ft and proceeded to fly it at about 30 to 40ft and 600kt-plus quite happily. It knocked all the myths about who’s got the best aeroplanes, who’s got the best-trained pilots and so on. The Swedish Air Force had aeroplanes that were light years ahead of anything the RAF had, or was going to get, or has got now, and their pilots were in a totally different league to us. This was not just an individual - I flew with three of them, and all three were like that. Each of them was able to fly the Jaguar faster and lower from the back seat than I could from the front seat.”

A few additions on the outside in the compartment for the ram air turbine. 10:00 1. The funny looking tube with a small red funnel, on the left, is the fire extinguisher port for the starter turbine. It was not common but it happned that you could get a bad start which resulted in a fuel fire in the starter turbine. There is a red light above it that indicated fire. You then emptied the fire extinguisher in to the pipe to get to the turbine. The test buttons for the fire light had a funny "feature". If the pilot pressed the varning planel test button in the cockpit, the fire light in the RAT compartment would also turn on. A less experienced mechanic would then empty the fire extinguisher in to the starter turbine thinking there was a fire. Vice versa if the mechanic pressed the test button next to the fire light, the pilot got a fire indication on his panel... well you can imagine the rest 😅 2. On the right you have ports for oxygen (for the pilot) and nitrogen (brake preassure etc.) with a pressure indicator for each. 3. The socket on the right side that looks like a hydraulic jack, is exactly that. It's used for manually pumping up the brake pressure so you could use the brakes without the electrical system on. Used primarily when towing. Viggen has many small design details to enable it to work with no or very limited ground support. The pilot can start without ground support. With only one mechanic you could do all ground operations if necessary. The turnaround time (re-fuel,re-arm), with a full ground crew, was between 7-10 min depending on weapon load, in the field, taking off from a road. All to make it as hard as possible for our not so friendly neighbor in the east 😉 Great video! Thanks!

Good work describing the cockpit of the JA37. I worked on it but never flew it, but as far as I could see, you got just about everything correct. The tactical display was very important for its efficiency. For the first time, the JA37 could operate effectively without constant GCI support. Behind this were a good Pulse Doppler radar (MPD) and the first implementation of the fighter datalink that was further developed to the Gripen (also called TAU=Tactical Air Unit link). It meant JA37 formations could operate without visual contact with each other but still as a tactical unit. When the JA37 got the AIM-120 (which should be this late version), it got very lethal due to the MPD radar, TAU link, and TI display with electronic map+real time tactical information, all combined with a Fox-3 missile.

Just want to let you guys know that there is a Viggen simulator in the museum at Skavsta. It's a production aircraft cockpit that's flown, but has been converted into a simulator, using fresnel lens displays. Unfortunately the cockpit instruments and lighting is not operational in it, and Viggen has a fantastic night lighting setup, but if you pay a small amount you can fly the sim and check out the cockpit. Plus the museum is staffed by old pilots and aircraft nerds who are fascinating to talk to. Highly recommended, its a much smaller museum than linkoping, but absolutely worth a visit!!

I read somewhere that the Viggen had a feature that it could use computers and the autopilot to link to the gun in pitch to provide better accuracy in air to air mode. I believe the Viggen was the most under rated fighter aircraft of its time.

Such a great video, I truly admire how you go into all the details! Regarding the spine of the plane, if you compare the prototype aircraft with the production ones, you notice that the latter have sort of a "bulge" on top (compare with the stock footage you have of the prototype where it has a "non-bulge" black panel instead). This came to be as the aircraft was shown to have a poor cross section area which caused buffeting when entering M1 speeds. Saab "locked" their engineers in a house in the village of Rimforsa outside of Linköping until they solved the problem, and hence the bulge came to be known as rimforsabulan. At least, that's the legend as far as I remember it.

The Viggen requires emergency power from the RAT only if it's desirable to get the plane back onto the ground in a condition where it's flyable afterward; admittedly, it's a much more cost-effective option to bring a damaged plane back to be repaired rather than requiring a new one to be issued. Certainly a significant reduction in paperwork.

At about 11 minutes in, you mention "reflector stripes" under the canard, just before climbing into the cockpit. I think those are actually formation lights, to help other Viggens during formation flying in the dark. So they are not reflecting light, they are light sources in themselves. A faint, spooky green light. Formation flying in the dark would only be done when on a ground attack mission, I suppose, but the JA37 does have a ground attack capability, so those lights make sense.

Not that it really matters, but you've got your pronunciations of Gripen and Viggen switched around. Gripen is pronounced with a longer more drawn out first vowel, whereas it should be short for Viggen and more emphasis put on the g's. Put another way, Gripen is pronounced like jeep-N but with gr at the start instead of j (and roll that r), whereas Viggen is pronounced more like wig-N, but with a V sound at the start, not a W. (or exactly like W if your German) No judgement though, of course, it's a difficult language with weird pronunciations

07:00 A note, the BAS 90 system called for one main runway of 2 000 - 2 300 meters, and then auxiliary runways - _some_ of which could be on roads - that were 800 meters.

So my only experience with the Viggen is a couple hundred hours in DCS, which has a different variant, but at a glance I'm not certain the navigational system is an INS. At least, the nav panels look almost identical to the attack variant I'm used to and that one only has a Doppler nav system. I wonder which one of these is the control panel for the datalink, supposedly the interceptor Viggens had a really advanced system for the time. edit: also I'm jealous of the variants that could carry ECM pods on the outboard stations, all I get are outdated Sidewinders :(

These walk arounds and cockpit views are wonderful. So much is revealed about an aircraft in this process.

Props to Sweden for going their own way in military aviation over many decades. Many innovative designs. I would find it difficult to believe they aren’t working on a 5th generation project these days after having been trounced by F-35 so many times in recent years.

Saab did work on stealth designs quite some time ago, but so far it's not seen that much interest from SwAF, which is their main customer. They do have limited technological cooperation with the Tempest project though.

Great video, amazing amount of info in one take before climbing in! I was lucky to see an AJ37 last summer at Sola airshow in Norway (ENZV). That and a Draken. What machines, hats off to Sweden.
