The Draken.

This is a very challenging aircraft to fly!
It's buildt up as a real one by a Swedish genius. I know, its all in Swedish, but anyway, i'll show it.

The most challenging with this ac is the landing. One little mistake, too fast you'll end up in nowhere, too slow you can look at the concrete below your legs...

I did it once again :dance:

I flew this aircraft a number of times in FS2004 & I agree with you... a real handful :shock:

Believe it or not there are several Draken's operational in Mojave, CA. Some operated by the National Test Pilot School:

The Draken made its first flight at 25 October 1955, which is hardly near 70 years.. ;) Only 58 years :)
But an old lady indeed <<s
