I did not Sweden was first to do the cobra maneuver with the Saab 35 Draken, fun. It is very impressive how little Sweden with SAAB have been able to develop stage of the art fighter planes. By exemple JAS 39 Gripen was the first 4th genereation fighter jet in the world, and many older fighterplanes set many records too.
I really like Draken, it is a beautiful plan. And I love this picture :D The timing and composition is perfect and I wounder what the person in the canoe thought haha.

- aivisol 4y agoIt is my speculation that they learned during WWII that to stay neutral they need to be well armed.
- jabl 4y agoI highly doubt that. WWII fighters didn't have the thrust/weight ratio or vectored thrust etc. to pull something like this off. Also due to the much lower thrust/weight ratio energy management was more important in WWII than in modern jets.
