A Swedish Air Force Historic Flight (SwAFHF) Saab AJS 37 Viggen, SE-DXN/37098, made its UK debut at the Jersey International Air Display.
The Mach Two-capable jet fighter had made its first flight in over 15 years just a few months earlier, following a 2500 Hour refurbishment in The Flight’s facility in Såtenäs, Sweden. The show’s organizers have cultivated a close relationship with the SwAFHF, which also sent along a Saab J29F Tunnan SE-DXB and a Saab 105 SE-DXG. It is hoped that one of the SwAFHF’s Saab J 32 Lansens will appear at the show next year on Thursday 12th SEPTEMBER 2013.
