Any chance of a few pics of the wonderfull Draken and Tunan?


I have a Draken series I can post when the Gripens are done.

Don't know about Tunans.........

I have a couple of great images of the J-29 Tunnan which were posted
to this group by Troy a while back. They are not mine, I got them
right here, but if Troy is too busy to repost them I would be willing
to, since folks are asking. Good images of the Tunnan seem to be rare.

Are the the grabs from airliners.net?

Hi Mitch,
They do not appear to be, at least there is no copyright
information
included in the image. Dan just posted both of them in his batch,
however, as:

Saab J-29 Tunan 13.jpg
and
Saab J-29 Tunan Austria.jpg

so there is no need for me to duplicate them. Ciao..........
Ed



Now I recognize the model. And thus remember why I don't
have any in my collection..........

Ugly? UGLY ? ? ?

THAT is an understatement, if I have ever heard of an understatement.

It looks like someone put a cockpit on top of a miss-shaped barrel, then
stuck some chunks of metal out the sides.

I'll bet it flew as well as it looks, or at LEAST as slow as it looks.

It does fit right in with some of the other early ugly jets, though. It
took a few years to figure out what would work, what would work better, and
what would work well.

Beauty, in most cases, seems to follow the progression in those early years,
with most of the modern fighters of today looking pretty sweet, IMHO.

I guess there is room for planes with character, too.

Looking at it this way, that plane has PLENTY character, I would say!

I move we change the name of the NG to alt.binaries.pictures.aviation.saab

Seriously, great pictures so far, and of some aircraft that are generally
less well-known. Lots of thanks to all involved, whether posting pictures
or discussing.
