I can't understand a word they're saying but some lovely footage

Swedish propaganda of the 1980s about their Air Force and the Viggen

Who needs to understand what they're saying when the music's that awesome.    Those overhead taxiing shots of the Viggen are pretty awesome.

I have to say, the Swedish Chef from the Muppets ruined how the rest of the world hears Swedish.  

Cheers,

Wonder if they did the same to that EC-135 that they used to do to the Nimrod R.1s?

Allegedly what would happen is that an R.1 would often show up "coincidentally" at the same time as a Marineflieger F-104G took a spin up the Baltic coast "accidentally" a tad too far to the east. The Swedes would go up to intercept the R.1 with a couple of Viggens to "demonstrate sovereignty" and make sure it wasn't doing anything naughty, while "coincidentally" a Flygvapnet Caravelle or later Korpen (Gulfstream IV) would be in trail 3 miles behind it, "accidentally" soaking up all the same electrons that the 104 had just provoked......

That roadside base would make for a nice diorama, with the 'door' and 'roof' made of trees stuck on a frame ...
