Very nice shot, nice angle!

Hi Erik.
Really nice shots as per usual, really like shot 2744.

Cheers, Graham.

+1 to Graham; it takes the Europeans to get the elegance back in the game :LOL:

(wonder how many flames Flame.jpg I'll get for this comment :unsure:)

Yep you're right.. On the other hand, SAAB AJS37 Viggen can make a lot of noise too :p
Thanks Click, Graham and Wiebe

The only flying SK-37 Viggen (SK stands for 'skolflygplan' i.e. 2-seated trainer). In order to save time and money, SAAB reused the front canopy also for the rear seat. It looks a bit odd but it works :) Two periscopes allowed the instructor in the rear seat to get a glimpse of the runway during landing
