There will never be anything as beautiful to take to the sky.
Swing wings are rare and have fallen out of favor, for good reason. Aircraft with them can be named on both hands. Like biplanes, they will be entirely out of fashion.
Still, maintenance issues aside, they are something to behold and I wish the F-14 got her planned upgrade to the Tomcat 21.

Probably the nicest looking Saab plane next to the Draken. I never personally like the Viggen but I can see that others ITT do.

Same here, I like the Lansen though. It has that 50s British look, like the Hawker Hunter and Supermarine Scimitar

Looks really sturdy and I do see a lot of the Hunter in that design. The Tunnan is cool too, I wonder how it would have fared against the MiG-15 and F-86.

I've been on kind of a Sweden binge lately, reading and watching stuff about their military during the Cold War. Very impressive.

>>32926344

An american pilot who fought in Korea got to try the Tunnan. After that he stated that if they would have had Tunnans in Korea they would have outclassed the MiG-15s...

>>32918192
Fucking Eagles are sexy. Tomcats are beautiful, but F-15 are so subtle. Everything you could need in a plane sans the stealth.

Does mounting sidewinders to a maritime recon aircraft count? Either way, I love the nimrod.

No shit. Almost as heavy and as large as WWII B-24 Liberator bomber and can carry more bombs for longer distance.

Kind of does. Out of all the "modernized Tomcat" designs, that one is my favorite. I think it still retains the 2-man crew.

>>32928656
I see the influence, but I also cannot unsee the front fuselage being off of a Flanker. Change that, and the tail slightly, and it's a nice design.
