37 Viggen, can't say if it is a J, A or S Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] (#112) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SWEDECAR) on Fri, 6 Aug 2004 15:38:40 In Reply to: Viggen, Grippen or ?????.., Mike Lynch [Profile/Gallery] , Fri, 6 Aug 2004 14:37:14 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The Draken was numbered 35 and the Gripen is 39.
Both Draken and Viggen came in different configuration setups. J (jakt) as in air combat. A (attack) as in ground targets and S (spaning) as in reconnesance. So it had one of the letters in front of the number depending on what it was built for.
The Gripen is a little bit different as in that it's built for all three in one aircraft. That why it's called JAS 39 Gripen.
