I just read in the Swedish Avation mag “Flygrevyn” that the last operational Viggen SK 37E (ECM version) 37813 will be delivered to the Collings Foundation for preservation. What are their plans for this aircraft? They have quite the record for this complicated of aircraft as they have a TA-4 and an F-4 that fly quite regularly. Are they going to fly the Viggen?
Also any plans for the Swedish Air Force/SAAB to keep one around for air displays like they did with the Tunnan, Lansen and Draken?

Ahh good taste I must say, reading Flygrevyn 🙂
Who knows what will happen when/if the Viggen makes it to the States.
I heard they have been asking for lots of spare parts, hm hm, do they need that many parts for static display…
As for Sweden, the other remaining SK 37E has now been transferred to SÃ¥tenäs – that’s a good start.
