SAAB Viggen deltok på Stord Airshow med ein toseter versjon med grøn kamuflasjefarge. Fullstendig namn på denne jetjagaren er SAAB SK37 Viggen. Dei første flya av denne typen vart levert til det svenske forsvaret i 1971 og den første operative skvadronen vart etablert i 1972. Flytypen vart pensjonert i 2007.
Den spesielle utforminga av vengene gjer at Viggen kan starta å landa på flyplassar med lengde på under 500 meter.

SAAB Viggen participated in Stord Airshow with one two-seat version with green camouflage colour. Full name of this jet hunter is SAAB SK37 Viggen. The first flight of this type delivered to the Swedish defence in 1971 and the first operating squadron established in 1972. The aircraft retired in 2007.
The unique design of the wings allows the Viggen to start landing at airports of less than 500 meters.

I appreciate your comments about the pictures as unique.
I want to add some more information about the Swedish company SAAB.
SAAB is a Swedish company that started making aircraft in 1937. They have also built cars since 1947.
When the Norwegian Air Force was to replace F16 hunters with a new aircraft, SAAB Gripen was one that was considered in competition with the US Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II.
The Norwegian authorities finally chose the American jet hunter.
If you want more information about the Swedish airline and their new jet hunter, you can find more information on this website: https://saab.com/air/gripen-fighter-system/gripen/gripen/the-fighter/
