J35 Draken in Fire Birds

Short clips from the movie Fire Birds. The movie sucks, but I love the SAAB J35 Draken. A few Drakens were sold by the Swedish Air Force to some enthusiast in the states and I guess this black Draken is one of them. Note: Another user told me that the Draken in this movie probably served with the Danish Airforce before it was sold to a flight school in the US.

Kul, det var längesedan man såg detta! Men visst heter filmen Firebirds i Sverige, och Flight of the Apache i USA?

Blue Thunder handlade väl om en supertyst blå polishelikopter som kunde loopa och skjuta ner F-16 plan?

Tack. Det verkar stämma. Ändrat.

Minnet sviker alltför ofta.

"Fire Birds" med mellanslag till och med enligt imdb.

J35 Draken was the best fighter in Europe until USA stationed F-15s'in Germany.

@TheMrShithappen My comment was to Scruck who claimed that "J35 Draken was the best fighter in Europe until USA stationed F-15s'in Germany". They had Viggens before the F-15 entered European airspace. And the Viggens IS a much more capable aircraft. It should be,

@Scurck Nah...not the Draken. The Viggen maybe!

I liked this movie...

Most likely an ex. Danish Air Force Draken, even if admittedly it looks more like a Swedish one.. It doesn't seem to have the 'ugly' nose of the Danish Draken, nor does it have the enlarged fueltanks.. so who knows?? :)

The enemy in this movie was a drug lord, not a military so weapon systems were what the drug lord could get. There were plenty of tactical problems with this movie since they tried to make it part Airwolf part Top Gun. Basically the Apache would have been 15' off the ground with the J35 needing to visually see the aircraft or have doplar radar to spot the Apache. The Apache can just pivot and shoot, no reason to "chase" the J35. Rockets wouldn't have worked against the J-35.
