lets talk about the Viggen!!!!

The Viggen is my favorite airplane, I think its wonderfull
when you see it you can feel the power!!!
And it was done in a country with just 8 million inhabitants. That is efficiency!

I would like to learn more about it.
I know the usuall info about it, armament, dimensions, weight, etc
But I really want to know the little details, the kind of things that usually you cant find.

I.E:
How it feels to fly the Viggen? is it easy?
Is it a good dogfighter?
Which are his “unique” characteristics?
How it compares with other fighters of his time?
Is there any interesting story involving the Viggen?
Any thing.

I am sure you have very interesting details to share with me!

One more thing!
Somewhere I read that Flygvapen pilots usually speak english instead of swedish when they are flying. Is it true? Why?

Thanx.
Heechee
