U-turn With A Viggen

francois, Tuesday, 16 June 2009 @ 11:12

Here’s an interesting video from the endless YouTube resource…. A Saab Viggen with a pilot who forgot his sandwiches at home…. These aircraft are designed to work from small airfields and roads even and can do amazing things. Not only make U-turns all by themselves, but also very short take-offs…. enjoy !
