Two more of my favorites:

The Viggen was famous for its short, take off anywhere reputation.
This image shows a group of Viggens taxi-ing down a
snowy road preparing for takeoff. I used to call this one
"traffic jam of Viggens on the Garden State Parkway".



This is the new multi-role SAAB Gripen. It really is an awesome
fighter in its own right. Again, as can be seen in this
image, the claim to fame was that this fighter could use
normal roads for taxi & takeoff. How'd you like to look
out your front window and see this thing driving by !
Hey Honey, you'll never guess what I just saw drive by the house....

I used to call this one "taking the Gripen out for a Sunday drive".



Almost makes you want to live in Sweeden - huh?
